Spanish sources described the Calusa as a powerful, hierarchical society ruled by a paramount king who commanded dozens of vassals across southern Florida, maintained authority through tribute, intimidation, and warfare, and served both political and religious roles. Despite their militaristic reputation, archaeological evidence of warfare is sparse, suggesting either peaceful dominance or a late development of conflict linked to European contact.
