Topic: Guale


  
 Guale Indian Tribe
Guale, not, it appears, on the island of that name but "on an arm of a river which is a branch of another on the north bank of the aforesaid port in Santa Elena in 32° N. lat.," probably on Ossabaw Island.
In 1569 missionary work was undertaken by the Jesuits simultaneously among the Cusabo and Guale Indians and one of the missionaries, Domingo Augustin, wrote a grammar of the Guale language.
At the time of the removal some Guale Indians appear to have gone to South Carolina, and in 1702 a general insurrection of the remainder took place, and they joined their kinsmen on the outskirts of that colony under the leader-ship of the Yamasee.

After a brief effort among the coastal Guale in 1574-75, the Franciscan mission era shifted into full gear after the 1587 arrival of a group of friars from Spain.
When five friars were murdered in the Guale rebellion of 1597, northern missions were abandoned completely until 1604.
The surviving descendants of Georgia's Guale and Mocama missions were among the eighty-nine Indians who chose to evacuate Florida with the Spanish in 1763, relocating permanently to Cuba.

In 1597 a young Guale man named Juanillo, angry that a priest had blocked his selection as mico (chief), killed the meddling cleric.
This was the golden age of Spanish influence in the South.
There was a mission at the confluence of the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers, one at the falls on the Chattahoochee and a number along the coast in Guale and the other fiefdoms.

 The Story in the Bones, cont.
The Guale, or their ancestors, were moving with the food supply, fishing and hunting, gathering wild plants.
With the shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture, the bones of the Guale became less strong, probably because they did not have to work as hard as their ancestors had.
When Larsen and his team looked at the skeletons from the Guale of this period, they found that the bones had grown stronger again, probably in response to the increase in labor.

Where the two epochs meet at the northern end, a dramatic 25-foot bluff is formed, which was used by Guale Indians as an observation point and may be the most unusual geologic feature on any of the Georgia barrier islands.
The Guale were the last in a long line of Indians stretching back 4,000 years that appreciated the island's natural resources.
The Guale were successful in repelling their attackers, but abandoned the mission, which was left to the ravages of time and disappeared under shifting sands and dense vegetation.

The later mission, Santa Catalina de Guale de Santa Maria (Figure 2), was occupied by a native population until A.D. Ethnographic and archaeological evidence indicates that the two samples are temporally successive and derived from the same historic population.
Earlier research on the Santa Maria cemetery population indicates that the Guale were under increasing levels of biological stress after their move to Amelia Island (Griffin and Larsen 1989, Shavit 1988).
The present study attempts to confirm that the cemetery populations from Santa Catalina de Guale and Santa Catalina de Guale de Santa Maria are derived from the same group.

In 1597, early in the mission period, a rebellion in the Province of Guale resulted in the killing of four priests and a lay brother.
On the coastal barrier islands of Guale and in the forests and fields of Apalachee and Timucua the remains of several of these missions are yielding important new information.
A detailed study of Guale pottery by Rebecca Saunders of the University of Florida has shown that a stamped sun/world motif, which decorated Precolumbian pots, became greatly simplified in the mission period, pointing to a possible change in native beliefs.

 On The Trail Of Five Missionaries Who Died On Georgia Soil
Among the Guale, the village chieftain, or “mico,” was overseen by the “mico mayer,” or head chief of all local mico leaders, Juanillo, son of the Tolomato mico, was in line to become the mico mayer of that area.
De Corpa intervened with the Guale leadership at Tolomato and Juanillo was deprived of the mico mayer position.
And in the specific instance of the five Franciscans who died in the Guale territory, supporters of the cause for beatification feel that the men were killed because they upheld the values of Christian marriage.

The Georgia coast surrounding New Hope was named "Guale", (pronounced wally) after the Spanish name for the Indians who inhabited the area.
Guale combines the beauty of the Golden Isles and the large expanses of the estuarial marshes with the ambience of a subtropical climate.
The beauty of the area has been celebrated by many writers throughout history and is perhaps best summarized in the words of one of its early English explorers.

Some of them moved inland in consequence of difficulties with the Whites, and in the latter half of the seventeenth century most of those afterward known as Lower Creeks were upon Chattahoochee and Ocmulgee Rivers, the latter river being then called Ocheese Creek, from the Hitchiti name given to the Indians living on it.

By 1680, prompted by the expansion of the Carolina colony southward and the consequent withdrawal of the Spanish to the south, the reduced Guale population was relocated.
The Guale Indians were named by the Spanish for the chiefdom centered at the village of the same name on St. Catherines Island.
The results from previous biological studies of the Guale suggest an overall reduction in health and quality of life as they changed from a hunting and gathering mode of subsistence to an agricultural one.

 Conquest of the Land
Guale was the powerful chief of the tribe and the name of an important city, hence the Spanish applied the name to the land.
In 1597 a Guale revolt led to the destruction of that tribe.
Having secured the support of some of his tribe, and surrounding tribes Juanillo attacked the missions that had been established in their country, destroying them and killing the missionaries and the soldiers of the nearby garrisons.

But the unsubstantiated suggestion by an archaeologist in the 1950s that the skull might be that of one of the missionaries, Pedro de Corpa, is enough to pique Harkins' curiosity.
At issue was the Guale custom of bigamy: de Corpa insisted that Church would not condone the decision by the local chief's eldest son, Juanillo, to take a second wife.
By the way, the Cherokees were far to the north, in the north Georgia mountains...these folks were indigenous Guale of the northern Georgia coastline.

 History of St. Catherines Island
In 1576 a revolt of the Guales involved St. Catherines Island as did the Juanillo rebellion in 1597.
The Guales were named by the Spanish from a settlement of that name on St. Catherines Island (Jones In Thomas et al., 1978: 179) and the Spanish mission on St. Catherines has become known as Santa Catalina de Guale.
Jesuit, and later, Franciscan, missionaries ministered to the Guales at Santa Catalina de Guale which was destroyed by fire in 1597 and rebuilt around 1604.

Death came to the five Franciscan Martyrs in September, 1597, after a baptized Guale named Juanillo, living in one of the missions, took a second wife.
Juanillo left the mission in anger to recruit Natives from the interior to rid the Guale territory of the "troublesome" friars.
The details of his reception are told succinctly by a chronicler: "They waited for him and when he disembarked, two Natives took him in their arms, while the others came and killed him with blows from the macana.

 SANTA CATALINA DE GUALE Mission in Spanish La Florida
When Ibarra arrived in 1604 a church had been built already in what was referred to as the village of the mico of Guale, although it was only in 1605 that Fray Pedro Ruiz was assigned to recommence missionization there.
This mission survived until an attack by English-led Yamasee from the Carolina colony led the inhabitants to retreat southward, although they and the few soldiers had successfully resisted the invasion.
The extent of that trade is reflected seemingly in the wealth of glass beads and other trade goods found with the more than four hundred burials found in the floor of the church at Santa Catalina de Guale.

 Scoop: John Roughan: Guale Politicians Blew It!
Guale's senior politicians missed a great chance to make this year's Mother's Day something special for their women.
When a village mother recounted her heart-rendering story of how she lost her little baby because the nearest clinic was simply out of reach, only the hardest hearted person in the audience could resist the woman's plea for a clinic presence close by.
Women, although Guale's true land guardians, were reduced to the role of on-lookers, with little or no input on how their own very tree wealth was to be used for the well being of all and not for a select few.

 LostWorlds.org | Georgia Before Oglethorpe FAQ
The GUALE province therefore only included the islands of Ossabaw, St. Catherines, and Sapelo (and their smaller neighbors), as well as the mainland estuaries and river valleys opposite these islands.
This name was actually associated with a Guale village and mission originally located near Darien on the mainland, and which was intentionally relocated to the northern end of St. Simons Island in 1661 after the mission's destruction by English-allied slave raiders (the Westo of Carolina fame, otherwise known as the Chichimeco).
In actuality, St. Simons Island was originally called the island of GUADALQUINI in deference to the capital town of the local chiefdom by that name located on the southern end of the island near the present-day lighthouse.

 AMNH Scientific Publications: Item 2246/270
This volume examines the late 17th-century transformation and retreat of the Spanish mission provinces of Guale and Mocama in the face of English-sponsored hostility from the north.
The central focus of the text is the presentation of English translations of the recently identified 1739 package of historical documentation assembled by the Governor of Florida Don Manuel de Montiano in an attempt to demonstrate Spain's prior ownership of the new English colony of Georgia.
Based on these documents, supplemented by extensive new historical research, an in-depth introductory overview provides a detailed and somewhat revised portrait of the retreat of Guale and Mocama between 1655 and 1685...
