Land Acquisitions Cela Tega (December 8, 2008)

Cela Tega is the southwest Florida native (i.e.: Calusa) term for “A view from high ground”. We used it here to symbolize “overview”. The term was inspired from the Carib Native North American term epopopanana meaning:

this is Meeting (Epopo) + And (ana) +Place (Pa) which in Carib syntax is Epopopanana
