Native Lands

Traverse the years from 1760 to the present day in a constantly changing environment as the novel unfolds.

Join Locka and Mali as they lead their tribe of Timucuans away from the Spanish invaders near St. Augustine in 1760 and settle into a new life in the Everglades alongside the Calusa Indians. Their progeny grow and hide in the swamp, attempting to keep their bloodlines pure.

Hundreds of years later, the exiled native Floridians thought to be extinct, rise up and form their own band of warriors to fight a conglomerate intent on destroying the last vestiges of the natural environment of Florida. With the assistance of nature, they attempt to halt the annihilation of the natural world they treasure.

Mangrove Mike, Joey Cosmos, and Rob Zodiac have lived their entire lives with the secret of their heritage kept hidden until they learn that human connections transcend the fear of extinction. Join them, along with Barbara Evans in the Everglades and Emily Booth in St. Augustine as they form the foundation and prepare to fight forces, which are intent on completing manmade "living zones" throughout Florida.

It's a dangerous journey for this mismatched group of fighters as they attempt to halt the destruction of the natural world they treasure. Cultural boundaries established centuries ago are erased as love and nature seek the balance lost during the battle for power and control of the last of the Florida frontier.
