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 ...

Battle Of The Twin Villages
The Battle of the Two Villages was a Spanish attack on Taovaya people, Taovaya villages in what is now Texas and Oklahoma by a Spanish army in 1759. The Spanish were defeated by the Taovaya and other Wichita people, Wichita tribes with assistance from the Comanche. Background The Mission Santa Cruz de San Saba, San Saba Mission was established in April 1757 near the site of present-day Menard, Texas. Three miles away, a military post, Presidio San Luis de las Amarillas, was established at the same time to protect the Mission. The purpose of the Mission was to convert and pacify the Lipan Apache and extend Spanish influence into the Great Plains. The Spanish also wished to check the increase of French influence among the natives on their northern frontier. The establishment of the Mission inflamed the people of northern Texas, called "Norteños" by the Spanish. The Norteños included the nomadic Comanche, the village-dwelling Wichita tribes, (the Taovaya, Iscani, and Wichita proper ...

Simonos
The Simono were an Indigenous people who lived in what is now part of the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon and the U.S. state of Texas from at least the 16th century in the 18th century. In the late 1580s or maybe slightly earlier the pressure of the Spanish incursion caused the Simoni to migrate north of the Rio Grande and join forces with the Yojuane as part of the greater Jumano league. By 1709 the Simono were living in eastern Texas along the Rio Brazos in an area known as the Rancheria Grande. In that year a hunting party of Simoni as well as Yojuane and Tusonibi encountered the expedition of Isidro de Espinosa Isidro is a given name.
