Answer 1

When Juan Ponce de León made landfall in what is now the southeastern United States, he encountered the **Seminole Tribe**. However, it's important to note that Ponce de León is most commonly associated with his exploration of Florida in 1513, and he specifically interacted with the Indigenous peoples living in that region at the time, which were various groups that would later be recognized as part of the Seminole.
