Calusa

Les Calusa, parfois appelés Caloosa ou Calosa, étaient une tribu amérindienne qui vivait sur la côte et le long des cours d'eau du sud-ouest de la Floride. Calusa signifie hommes puissants. Ils habitaient des maisons sur pilotis sans murs et aux toits de feuilles de palmiers tressées. Les Calusa étaient des guerriers.

On estime que la population calusa comptait 50 000 individus avant l'arrivée des Européens ; la tribu contrôlait alors la plus grande partie du sud de la Floride. Les Calusa furent la première tribu amérindienne que les explorateurs espagnols rencontrèrent en 1513.
