Did you know a powerful, mysterious civilization once lived right on the beautiful islands of southwest Florida? Join Miss Cam and Nate to meet the Calusa — the "Shell People" — who lived along the Gulf coast for almost 2,000 years. Discover how they built giant hills and even whole islands out of seashells, ruled the seas in dug-out canoes, made tools and jewelry from shells, and became one of the most powerful peoples in all of Florida — all without ever planting a single farm. A fascinating, true history adventure for curious kids ages 4–10 about the amazing people who lived right where we live today. Turn your imaginations ON!
