  • Tonkawa Indians Before the Time of the Spanish Explorers, Native Americans Inhabited the Open Ranges and Woodlands of Texas

    Tonkawa Indians Before the Time of the Spanish Explorers, Native Americans Inhabited the Open Ranges and Woodlands of Texas

    Tonkawa Indians Before the time of the Spanish explorers, Native Americans inhabited the open ranges and woodlands of Texas. One group that made its mark in history is the Tonkawa Indians. These people were thought to have come to Texas as early as the seventeenth century. Tonkawa, a Waco Indian word, means, “they all stay together,” which eloquently describes this group of nomadic Indian tribes. There is scant archeological evidence of the Tonkawa people, and historians have several theories on the tribal structure and lifestyles of this group. Some believe the Tonkawa were actually a group of independent bands of Indians, which may have included the Sana, Toho, Tohaha, Cantona, and Cava Indians. In the early eighteenth century these bands of Indians were thought to have joined together to form Tonkawa Proper. There is some evidence that the Tonkawa actually came to Texas much earlier as one cohesive group of Tonkawa Indians that lived further north. These nomadic hunters lived in tepees made from buffalo hide, grass and other materials. Tepees allowed bands to easily pack their homes and move with the migrating herds of buffalo or to outrun their enemies. An elected tribal chief led each band of Tonkawa, and each band was composed of maternal clans. Unlike many societies that are patriarchal, the Tonkawa clan membership followed on the side of the mother. When a couple got married, the man would go live with his wife’s clan, and the children would become members of their mother’s clan as well. As a society that always stays together, the Tonkawa established a system that ensured all widows, widowers, and orphaned children were taken care of if their family members died.

The Tonkawa had a distinct language, and their name, as that of the leading tribe, was applied to their linguistic family. They were one of the most warlike tribes during nearly two centu- ries of conflict with their enemy tribes on the Western plains and with the Spanish and, later, American settlers in the Southwest. Their men were famous warriors, and their chiefs bore many scars of battle. The Tonkawa women were also strong physically and vindictive in disposition. The people of this tribe were no- madic in their habits in the early his- toric period, moving their tipi villages according to the wishes of the chiefs Winnie and Chief Grant Richards ca. 1898 of the different bands. They planted a few crops, but were well known as great hunters of buffalo and deer, using bows and arrows and spears for weapons, as well as some firearms secured from early Spanish traders.

    Texas Indians CH 4 TEXAS HISTORY First Texans

    Texas Indians CH 4 TEXAS HISTORY First Texans Native Americans adapted to and used their environment to meet their needs. Plains Indians People who move from place to place with the seasons are nomads. The main advantage of teepees was their mobility. Plains Indians The Apaches were able to attack both the Spanish and other Indian groups because of their skilled use of horses. Apaches used their skill at riding horses to assert dominance. Plains Indians The Comanche became wealthy as skilled buffalo hunters. Hunters used buffalo hides for clothing and shelter and ate the meat. All Plains Indians lived off the buffalo. Plains Indians The Comanche first entered Texas from the Great Plains. The Comanche later drove the Apache into the Mountains and Basins region of West Texas and into New Mexico. Plains Indians The Lipan and Mescalero were subgroups of the Apaches. Southeastern Indians The Caddos were a matrilineal society, which meant they traced their families through the mother’s side. Caddos farmed and practiced crop rotation to prevent the soil from wearing out. Southeastern Indians Farming changed Native American culture by creating more complex, permanent societies. Western Gulf Indians Gulf Coast Indians were different from Plains Indians because they were able to eat seafood from the Gulf, including oysters, clams, turtles and fish. Western Gulf Indians The Karankawa and Coahuiltecan were both were nomads along the Gulf Coast. They didn’t farm because they lived in a dry area. Pueblo Indians The Pueblo were from the Mountains and Basins region and built adobe homes of mud and straw.
