Statue of Chief Tomokie which later I found out was an Indian legend created by Doris Marie Mann Boyd.  First, there was no Chief Tomokie. And, for the record, there were no Tomoka Indians, despite some well entrenched local folklore. The word Tomoka is a corruption of Timucua, the name of the indigenous peoples of Northeast Florida. Spanish and French explorers, early on having trouble pronouncing Native American words, concocted the misnomer.
