Use the "Native American History: The Timucua Tribe" passage to answer questions 16 - 20. Native American History: The Timucua Tribe The Timucua (tee-MOO-kwah) lived in northern Florida. The Timucua might have been the first Native Americans to interact with the Spanish explorers when they landed in Florida. Early explorers often used the language of the Timucua to talk to other tribes. The Timucua were skilled hunters, gatherers, fishermen and farmers. They hunted bear, deer, wild turkey and alligators for food. They cooked the meat over open fires, using smoke to preserve it. They also made a special fishing tool that was a wooden fence which stretched across a stream or river to catch fish. Once the fish swam over the fence in high tide, the fence caught them as the tide went out. During the mid 1600s, the population of the Timucua tribe began to decrease. Although the Timucua were one of the more peaceful tribes, they would fight back when attacked. Fighting with the English and other tribes hurt them. In addition, entire villages were wiped out by smallpox, a disease carried over by European explorers. As the tribe died out, it is believed that those who survived the disease may have later joined the Seminole tribe. Based on the passage, Who used the language of the Timucua to communicate with other tribes?

The Spanish explorers used the language of the Timucua to communicate with other tribes.

The French explorers used the language of the Timucua to communicate with other tribes.

The Canadian explorers used the language of the Timucua to communicate with other tribes.

The Native American explorers used the language of the Timucua to communicate with other tribes.
