Discover the incredible resilience of the Nansemond tribe in this captivating 30-second short! Forced from their homeland in Virginia by British settlers, the Nansemond didn’t surrender—they retreated into the harsh depths of the Great Dismal Swamp to preserve their freedom and culture. Despite the isolation and relentless conditions, they held onto their identity. Today, they’ve reclaimed their land, revived their heritage, and are a testament to enduring strength. Watch to see how the Nansemond turned adversity into triumph!

Yep, the Miccosukee- Seminole, Timucua, Calusa, suffered a long time in those marshes while the Tequesta, Ais, and Jega tribes took all that prime real-estate from Ft Lauderdale to Key Largo. there was only one tribe that managed to survive while resisting the pale face.
