At that time Mayaca appears to have been allied with the Mocama, or Agua Salada Timucua chief Saturiwa  against the Agua Dulce (Freshwater) Timucua. In 1567 the Mayaca joined with the Saturiwa and the Potano, another Timucua people, against the Agua Dulce, which was defeated with Spanish aid.
At that time it seems that Mayaca formed a strategic alliance with the Mocama or Agua Salada Timucua leader Saturiwa  to counterbalance the power of the Agua Dulce (Freshwater) Timucua. In 1567, Mayaca joined forces with Saturiwa and the Potano against the Agua Dulce, ultimately securing a decisive victory thanks to Spanish backing.
