Evolution of Native Cultures• Through archaeological study we have pieced
together the development of native cultures that inhabited Georgia prior to European contact.
• Early people are identified by cultural periods based on their hunting, eating, and group behavior.
• Paleo, Archaic, Woodland and Mississippian

Paleo Indians
• Earliest people (paleolithic age)• Lived until about 10,000 years ago, prior to
8000 B.C.• People lived in groups of 25-50 people• Nomadic hunters that followed herds• Used wooden spears and Clovis points• Diet included bison, mammoths, ground sloths
and mastodons

Archaic Period• These natives lived about 8000 B.C. to about
1000 B.C.• Hunted smaller game like deer, bear, turkey,
rabbit, and fish• Used smaller spears, stone points; invented
choppers, drills and other tools from deer antlers; and fish hooks from animal bones
• Moved during the different seasons to collect berries, nuts and fruit
• Less nomadic and began to save seeds for cultivation of plants and trees

Colonization in the New World
• The Spanish were the first to settle and explore Georgia
• De Soto’s soldier’s kept journals of their exploration and contact with native people

Spain (1540-1600)• Wants to colonize Southeast: • God: convert “Indians” to Christianity• Gold: find riches and return to Europe• Glory: keep rival European powers from
claiming the land.• (not necessarily in that order)• St. Augustine: first settlement (military purpose) protect the gold!

Spanish Missions
• Spain: Did not want to have civilians colonize the land: sent missionaries and soldiers (key to Spanish colonization)
• Missions: church outposts/barrier islands• Franciscans (Friars): missionaries• Georgia’s coast divided into two provinces:– Guale (Wal-ee) north barrier islands– Mocama: southern islands (down to St. Marys)

Guale and Mocama
• Guale: (1566) Pedro Menendez builds mission on St. Catherines Island: not entirely successful
• Mocama (1580’s): spread work along GA coast• Juanillo Rebellion (1597): revolt at Guale– Friars deny Juanillo position of Chief– Revolt hurts Spanish colonization efforts
