In this book, the author tracks the origin of a tribe that eventually becomes the Calusa Indians. In 15,000 BP, After traveling the land bridge across the Bering Sea, they are introduced to canoe builders, and are ever after, a tribe of the sea. Their route to SW Florida is south along the Western California Coast to Cabo San Lucas at the tip of Baja, Sea of Cortez to Mexico, south to Central America, and across to the Caribbean Sea. Colombia to the Caribbean Islands and later, Cuba. Traders tell them about Florida, so they head north. The Calusa hold Southwest Florida for 2,000 years, but the arrival of the Spaniards and the germs brought with them, spells doom for the Calusa.
I invite you to follow these ancient warriors as they move from Siberia in 1500 BP to 14th century Southwest Florida. The Calusa occupied and defended this area for 2,000 years, but when the Spaniards arrived with their gene-of-cruelty, modern weapons, and diseases that they had never encountered, the death knell began. After their struggles to find a land where they could live in peace, they were defeated by simple diseases such as a cold or the flu. Earlier, a small band of Calusa did not like what they saw in the Spaniards, so they paddled their small dugout canoes to an island that traders had told them of--Cuba. They were the only survivors.

Excerpt
By the time the caravan heads east toward the fabled land bridge that all hoped truly existed, the tribe of Tuka had only 45 warriors to provide reindeer and bear to feed the tribe.
During the night of their fifth camp, a pack of wolves approached. Orlo and Zuma put spears in the two that appeared to be the alfa wolf.
