A fact from Agua Dulce people appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Utina were one of the most powerful Timucua tribes during the early days of European settlement in Florida, but appear to have fragmented into at least three chiefdoms by the 17th century?

Thinking about this some more, I think Agua Dulce people would be a better title for this article. "Utina" was the chiefdom that existed in the early historical period, but later on the Spanish used the term "Agua Dulce" for the people of this area. This article covers both. The sources tend to follow the historical Spanish usage, referring to the 16th-century chiefdom as the "Utina chiefdom" (or variants) and the later chiefdom and people as "Agua Dulce".
Additionally, as "Agua Dulce" could refer to speakers of the Agua Dulce dialect regardless of whether they were part of a chiefdom, it may be a better name for an article covering all periods. If no one objects I'll move the article.Cúchullaint/c18:04, 24 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
