The Mayacas were hunter-fisher-gatherers, and were not known to practice agriculture to any significant extent, unlike their neighbors to the north, the Utina, or Agua Dulce (Freshwater) Timucua.
(In general, agriculture had not been adopted by tribes living south of the Timucua at the time of first contact with European people.)
Peace was restored, but in 1708 raids by Indians allied with English colonists in the Province of Carolina drove part of the Mayaca to seek refuge around St. Augustine.
Hann suggests that the name of the mission at Jizime or Atissime or Atisme indicates that Jororo territory extended in the valley of the Kissimmee River.
[5] Mayajuaca, Macoya and Mayrra are mentioned by early Spanish and French sources, and were probably located in the St. Johns River valley and associated with Mayaca.
