The question of cultural descent is separate from biological descent and equally complex.

The Florida Indigenous communities of the historical period — the Calusa, the Timucua, the Ais, and others — were separated from the Windover community by thousands of years and by whatever population changes occurred in the interval.

Whether any specific historical or contemporary tribal tradition carries a cultural inheritance from the Windover community cannot be established through the available evidence.

What can be said is that the Windover community was Indigenous to the Florida peninsula.

Their descendants, in whatever biological and cultural forms those descendants took across the subsequent millennia, were part of the Indigenous heritage of the region.
