Talk:Yufera people

Hakluyt source
There is no page number specified for the Hakluyt source. I found Hioacaia and Cubicani (pages 407 & 413) in that source, but I do not see where it mentions "Yufera". Do you know of another source that makes that connection? -Donald Albury 23:16, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey, sorry about that inconsistency. Here are some sources that assert this claim.
 * The Yufera had a long, but sporadic history of European contact. The earliest reference to the group is by the French who mentioned a tribe twelve leagues north of the mouth of the St. Johns River, which was governed by a beautiful and revered queen named Cubaconi (Hakluyt 1903b:75; Le Moyne 1875:12). Cubaconi was the widow of King Hiocaia, and her domain was called Hiocaia, or Hioucara, by the French. French narratives refer to what is now known as the Satilla River as the Somme. The Indian name for this river was Iracana (Hakluyt 1903b:75). It was near this waterway, probably in Yufera territory, that the caciques of the area, including Athore (son of Saturiwa), Apalou, and Tacatacuru, often met (Hakluyt 1903b:75). Here they exchanged gifts with the queen of the land. The chiefs of the northeastern Timucua tribes (Saturiwa, Tacatacuru, Athore, Halmancanir, Harpara, Helmacape, Helicopile, and Molloa) met here in 1567 to pledge support for Dominique de Gourgues in his punitive expedition against Pedro Menendez. (Tacachale - Deagan pp. 99). Hann seems to agree with her, and I haven't found any sources that differ from her claim, so I included it. KiwiNova (talk) 00:45, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
