Some of the Indigenous tribes of Texas include the Karankawa, Caddo, Comanche, Apache, Tonkawa, and Wichita. The Karankawa were known for their knowledge of navigating the coastal waters of Texas and were primarily hunters and fishermen. The Caddo were one of the largest and most advanced tribes and were skilled farmers who grew crops such as corn, beans, and squash. The Comanche were a powerful and nomadic tribe known for their expert horsemanship and skills in raiding and warfare. The Apache were also nomadic and skilled in hunting and gathering, as well as trading with other tribes. The Tonkawa were a small tribe who lived in central Texas and were allies of the Caddo. Finally, the Wichita were a sedentary tribe known for their agriculture and trade networks. These Indigenous tribes played a significant role in the history and culture of Texas before European colonization.
