Human remains, animal remains, and ceremonial artifacts of the Tequesta Native American civilization were found by archeologists in Miami.

Archaeologists have discovered evidence of the Tequesta Native American civilization, including human remains, animal remains and ceremonial artifacts, at the site of 444 Brickell, where Related Group developers are planning to build the Baccarat Towers. Brickell is currently overdeveloped, with no long-term strategy to mitigate the effects of construction. From sewage, water quality, pollution, and traffic, the development of this land will have catastrophic effects on the quality of life in Brickell.  To both preserve our precious history and guarantee a safer and healthier quality of life for future generations, we want to see this land designated as a site for historic preservation and turned into a green space, following the example of what was done with the Miami Circle. Please join us, and LET’S PRESERVE THIS LAND.
