Relocation of the last Timucua to Cuba, 1763

In 1763, when Spain ceded Florida to Great Britain, the Spanish took the fewer than 100 remaining Timucua and other natives to Cuba. Guanabacoa, a colonial township in eastern Havana, was home to a small community of Florida Indians, mostly Apalachees and Yamasees, evacuated from Florida in 1763 following the conclusion of the Seven Years' War. The legacy record specifies 95 survivors relocated eight years before Cabale's reported death; the passages give only the 'less than 100' figure. Some historians believe a small group of Timucua may have stayed behind in Florida or Georgia and possibly assimilated into other groups such as the Seminoles.
