Deadose
The Deadose were a Native American tribe in present-day Texas closely associated with the Jumano, Yojuane, Bidai and other groups living in the Rancheria Grande of the Brazos River in eastern Texas in the early 18th century. Like other groups in the Rancheria Grande, the Deadose moved to the San Gabriel River missions in the 1740s. The Deadose were along with the Yojuane, Mayeye and Bidai those who requested the Franciscan missionaries to come and set up missions for them. However many of the Deadose as well as the Bidai and Akokisa only went to the vicinity of the missions to trade with the soldiers. They also had set up trade networks that extended to the French in Louisiana. In 1750 the Deadose and their Bidai and Akokisa associates at Mission San Ildefonso left in an alliance with Ais, Hasinai, Kadohadachos, Nabedaches, Yojuanes, Tawakonis, Yatasis, Kichais, Naconis and Tonkawas to attack the Apache The Apache ( ) are several Southern Athabaskan language-speaking ...

Atakapa
The Atakapa Sturtevant, 659 or Atacapa were an Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands, who spoke the Atakapa language and historically lived along the Gulf of Mexico in what is now Texas and Louisiana. They included several distinct bands. They spoke the Atakapa language, which was a linguistic isolate. After 1762, when Louisiana was transferred to Spain following French defeat in the Seven Years' War, little was written about the Atakapa as a people. Due to a high rate of deaths from infectious epidemics of the late 18th century, they ceased to function as a people. Survivors generally joined the Caddo, Koasati, and other neighboring peoples, although they kept some traditions. Some culturally distinct Atakapan descendants survived into the early 20th century.Sturtevant, 660. There are several unrecognized tribes who identify as having descent from the Atakapa. Name The Atakapa called themselves the Ishak , which translates as "the people." Their name was als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Native American Tribes In Texas
Native American tribes in Texas are the Native Americans in the United States, Native American tribes who are currently based in Texas and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas who historically lived in Texas. Many individual Native Americans, whose tribes are headquartered in other states, reside in Texas. The Texas Historical Commission by law consulted with the three federally recognized tribes in Texas and as well as 26 other federally recognized tribes headquartered in surrounding states. In 1986, the state formed the Texas Commission for Indian Affairs, later renamed the Texas Indian Commission, to manage trust lands and assist three federally recognized tribes headquartered in Texas. However, the commission was dissolved in 1989. Federally recognized tribes Texas has three List of federally recognized tribes by state#Texas, federally recognized tribes.

Bidai
The Bidai, who referred to themselves as the Quasmigdo, were a tribe of American Indians from eastern Texas.Sturtevant, 659John Reed Swanton''The Indians of the Southeastern United States'' page 96. The name ''Bidai'' is Caddo language term for "brushwood". History Their oral history says that the Bidai were the original people in their region. 17th century Their central settlements were along Bedias Creek that flows into the Trinity River, but their territory ranged from the Brazos River to the Neches River.Sturtevant, 659 The first written record of the tribe was in 1691, by Spanish explorers who said they lived near the Hasinai. 18th century French explorer François Simars de Bellisle described them as agriculturalists in 1718 and 1720."Bidai Indians."

Yojuane
The Yojuane were a people who lived in Texas in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. They were closely associated with the Jumano and may have also been related to the Tonkawa. They have no connection to the Yowani in Texas, a Choctaw band. Etymology It has been proposed on little evidence that the tribe got its name because one of its members when asked who they were replied "yo Juan". Language Many scholars starting with Herbert E. Bolton have held the view that the Yojuane spoke the Tonkawa language or a language related to it. However Gary Anderson argues that the Yojuane spoke the same language or a related language to the Jumano Indians and that this was a Uto-Aztecan language, largely based on the ability of Nahuatl speakers to converse with the Jumano and Yojuane when they first met as part of the Spanish expeditions. History The Yojuane were first mentioned by Spanish chroniclers about 1690. At this time they were led by a man named Cantana who had been on occasion to ...

Mayeye
The Mayeye were a Tonkawa language, Tonkawa–speaking Native Americans in the United State, Native American people, who once lived in southeastern Texas.

History The Mayeye lived in the Rancheria Grande along the Brazos River in what is today eastern Texas. In the 1830s some Mayeye were among the Native Americans living at Mission San Antonio de Valero. At least some of the Mayeye at that location returned to the Brazos River region, against the will of the missionaries at the mission. Although the baptized Mayeye did not like being so far from their non-mission relatives, they did see some advantages to the mission system. They along with the Yojuanes, Ervipiames, Deadoses, and Bidais sought a Spanish mission in their land to give them a military adva ...

Extinct Native American Tribes
Extinction is the termination of an organism by the death of its last member. A taxon may become functionally extinct before the death of its last member if it loses the capacity to reproduce and recover. As a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Over five billion species are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryotes globally, possibly many times more if microorganisms are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation. Species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
