To determine which statement correctly compares the economic activities of indigenous cultures in Texas, we need to analyze each option.
- Option 1: The Apache of the Plains culture were settled farmers while the Karankawa of the Gulf culture were nomadic hunters. This statement is incorrect because historically, the Apache of the Plains culture were not settled farmers but rather nomadic hunter-gatherers. The Karankawa of the Gulf culture were indeed nomadic hunters, but their economic activities are not correctly compared with the Apache.
- Option 2: The Apache of the Plains culture were nomadic hunter-gatherers while the Caddo of the Southeastern culture were settled farmers. This statement is the correct answer. The Apache of the Plains culture were indeed nomadic hunter-gatherers, and the Caddo of the Southeastern culture were known for their sedentary farming practices.
- Option 3: The Caddo of the Southeastern culture were hunters while the Comanche of the Plains culture were settled farmers. This statement is incorrect because the Caddo were primarily settled farmers rather than hunters. The Comanche of the Plains culture were also nomadic hunter-gatherers, rather than settled farmers.
- Option 4: The Puebloan people were sedentary farmers while the Caddo of the Southeastern culture were hunter-gatherers. This statement is also incorrect. The Puebloan people were indeed sedentary farmers, but the Caddo of the Southeastern culture were primarily settled farmers, not hunter-gatherers.
