"combined works of nature and of man"
United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization
The Everglades contains more than just an abundance of plants and animals, but also a "cultural landscape." Archaeologists excavated multiple sites that points to not only prehistoric natives, but also Native American tribes who housed themselves in the Everglades. The "tree islands" within the Everglades are not natural, but piles of garbage left by humans years ago. These contain anything from bones to food to even pottery. The piles gave a place for trees to plant their roots and sprout into the "tree islands."
