1. We Remember Them With Compassion Marker
Gainesville is part of the traditional homelands of the Potano people, a Timucua-speaking society. The Timucua people lived here since time immemorial. Indigenous peoples from other nations long inhabited the area around what is now called Gainesville, and made innumerable contributions to the region. By the end of the 18th century, most of the Timucua people were obliterated by disease, violence and warfare. May this marker remind us to perpetually seek ways of mirroring the regenerative lifeways of the original Indigenous stewards of this land.
