Ponce de Leon and Osceola

 First Citizens Bank on the Tamiami Trail in Naples has a large statue of Ponce de Leon in the front.  Juan Ponce de León was a Spanish explorer and conquistador known for leading the first official European expedition to Florida in 1513.  He is usually associated with a search for the Fountain of Youth.

  Ponce de León returned to Southwest Florida in 1521 with the first large-scale attempt to establish a Spanish colony. However, the native Calusa people fiercely resisted the incursion, and Ponce de Léon was seriously wounded in a skirmish. The colonization attempt was abandoned, and he died from his wounds.

Osceola was a prominent leader of the Seminoles in the first third of the 19th century.  His statue hides out in the parking lot behind the bank.  I am surprised that I haven't read anything about native Americans protesting the rather offensive placement of the statue.
