Believe it or not, there is actually evidence of Native Americans living in the Miami, Florida area as many as 12,000 years ago. The first known settlers were the Tequesta Indians, who are well known for their practice of burying only the smallest bones of a deceased person. They actually placed the large bones on display instead of burying those as well.
