Keepers of Florida
The Hidden Yamasee Legacy
By Ministry of Yamasee Affairs
For three hundred years, the Yamasee Nation survived by becoming invisible. This is not a story of extinction—it is a story of strategic transformation, documented resistance, and unbroken bloodlines. From the Yamasee War that nearly ended British colonization to the founding of Fort Mose, from Mary Day's 1893 federal land patent to six generations of genealogical proof, this is the definitive account of Florida's hidden Indigenous legacy.
