Hello my name is Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca in between the years 1528-1536 I was exploring Florida for Spain, but on the way back me and my men were shipped wrecked on Galveston Island . Thankfully the Karankawa tribe provided us with shelter and food. Me and my men were traveling from tribe to tribe as servants,healers and traders. We used this knowledge to stay friendly with the Native American tribes.
