The
Yustaga were a
Timucua people of what is now northwestern
Florida during the 16th and 17th centuries. The westernmost Timucua group, they lived between the
Aucilla and
Suwanee Rivers in the
Florida Panhandle, just east of the
Apalachee people. A dominant force in regional tribal politics, they may have been organized as a loose regional
chiefdom consisting of up to eight smaller local chiefdoms.
