| has gloss | eng: Mocama was a Native American chiefdom that became part of Spanish Florida's missionary system in the late 16th century. The Mocama spoke a Timucuan language. The chiefdom disintegrated in the 17th century, after which the word "Mocama" was generally used to refer to the land where the chiefdom had been. The province of Mocama was situated along the Atlantic coast and Sea Islands, south of the Altamaha River and north of St. Johns River, and including St. Simons Island, Cumberland Island, and Amelia Island, among others. Cumberland Island seems to have been where the largest settlements were, although St. Simons Island and Amelia Island were important settlement areas as well. |
