Hello...
People first reached Florida at least 12,000 years ago. The people who inhabited Florida at that time were hunters and gatherers, who only rarely sought big game for food. Written records about life in Florida began with the arrival of the Spanish explorer and adventurer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. Sometime between April 2 and April 8, Ponce de León waded ashore on the northeast coast of Florida, possibly near present-day St. Augustine. He called the area la Florida, in honor of Pascua florida ("feast of the flowers"), Spain’s Eastertime celebration. Other Europeans may have reached Florida earlier, but no firm evidence of such achievement has been found. Spain was not the only European nation that found Florida attractive. In 1562 the French protestant Jean Ribault explored the area. These French adventurers prompted Spain to accelerate her plans for colonization. Pedro Menéndez de Avilés hastened across the Atlantic, his sights set on removing the French and creating a Spanish settlement. Menéndez arrived in 1565 at a place he called San Augustín (St. Augustine) and established the first permanent European settlement in what is now the United States. He accomplished his goal of expelling the French, attacking and killing all settlers except for non-combatants and Frenchmen who professed belief in the Roman Catholic faith. Menéndez captured Fort Caroline and renamed it San Mateo.
IMPORTANT: The Spanish recorded nearly one hundred names of groups they encountered, ranging from organized political entities such as the Apalachee, with a population of around 50,000, to villages with no known political affiliation. There were an estimated 150,000 speakers of dialects of the Timucua language, but the Timucua were only organized as groups of villages, and did not share a common culture. Other tribes in Florida at the time of first contact included the Ais, Calusa, Jaega, Mayaimi, Tequesta and Tocobaga. All of these tribes diminished in numbers during the period of Spanish control of Florida. At the beginning of the 18th century, tribes from areas to the north of Florida, supplied, encouraged, and occasionally accompanied by white colonists from the Province of Carolina, raided throughout Florida, burning villages, killing many of the inhabitants and carrying captives back to Charles Towne to be sold as slaves. Most of the villages in Florida were abandoned and the survivors sought refuge at St. Augustine, or in isolated spots around the state. Some of the Apalachee eventually reached Louisiana, where they survived as a distinct group for at least another century. The few surviving members of these tribes were evacuated to Cuba when Spain transferred Florida to the British Empire in 1763. The Seminole, originally an offshoot of the Creek people who absorbed other groups, developed as a distinct tribe in Florida during the 18th century, and are now represented in the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida.
You may find some pictures of use in the site mentioned below. However, the previous info means they were natives who did not belong to a greater nation (tribal type of life). Moreover, the recorded non-Americans start around the year 1560.
Guess you are more than half-way done now :-)

First it's nearly imposible to find a picture unless you want an archelogical site. Second were talking over 50,000 years ago. If your including human ancestors but I would try something from P. De Leon's (can't remember first name) time. The spanish conquistidor, who went looking for the fountain of youth.

The first people in Florida and the Treasure Coast were hunter-gatherers, existing on what they could kill or pick from trees and bushes.
They had no fixed dwellings.

You should have taken the time you spent online asking this question to do a search for the info you need yourself. That is what anyone answering you would do.

Somehow, it seems to me that the effort it would take to do your homework for you is worth more than 10 points. I'd say, at least $10. Or, better yet, you could do the work yourself.
