Which group is NOT considered indigenous to Florida?

Seminole
Calusa
Cheyenne
Muskogee

The correct answer is: Cheyenne

The Cheyenne are recognized as a Native American people who originally inhabited the Great Plains region, primarily in areas that now comprise parts of Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and Nebraska. They are distinct from the indigenous groups that have historical ties to Florida. In contrast, the Seminole, Calusa, and Muskogee (or Creek) have deep historical roots in Florida. The Seminole tribe has a long-standing presence in Florida, particularly known for their resistance during the Seminole Wars. The Calusa were prominent on the state's southwestern coast before European contact and are known for their sophisticated societal structure. The Muskogee people historically occupied regions in Florida as well, particularly in the northeastern part of the state. Thus, the Cheyenne stands out as the group not indigenous to Florida, as their cultural and geographical origins lie elsewhere in the United States.
