Natural Geographic Features Great Plains

The Great Plains comprises three sections the High Plains, Edwards plateau, and Llano Basin.Covering most of Texas , the loamy High Plains region is known for its weather extremes.The Edwards Plateau, which is also referred to as Hill Country , features limestone outcroppings and supports the largest concentration of sheep and goats in the nation.The Llano basin is a small area of lower elevation on the Edwards Plateaus northern edge.

Tribes
Apache
The Apache had different subgroups. Important subgroups for the Apache tribes were the Western Apache, Chiricahua Apache, Yavapai Apache Mescalero Apache, Lipan Apache, Jicarilla Apache, Plains Apache. All of the different Apache subgroups had a different language and were distinct and had their own beliefs. Their name "Apache" came from a Zuni word meaning "Our Enemies".
One major subgroup is the Yavapai Tribe. The Yavapai-Apache Nation is located in the Verde Valley of Arizona and has five (5) tribal communities: Tunlii, Middle Verde, Rimrock, Camp Verde and Clarkdale. With 2,440 total enrolled tribal members (December 2014 numbers) with over 750 residents living in the five (5) tribal communities. The Yavapai-Apache Nation consists of two distinct people, the Yavapai and Apache. The Yavapai refers to themselves as Wipuhk’a’bah and speak the Yuman language, while the Apache refer to themselves as Dil’zhe’e and speak the Athabaskan language.

Jumano and Eastern Pueblo
People don’t really know if they had their own language but it may have been Kiowa-Tanoan; there appear to have been several different Jumano languages spoken by bands in different regions. The Jumanos do not exist as a distinct tribe today. After colonization they merged into neighboring tribes such as the Apache, Pueblo, and Wichita tribes. Other people of Jumano descent live among Hispanic communities in southwest Texas and northern Mexico.

The Coahuiltecan Indians were a network of loosely affiliated Indian bands of Texas and Mexico. Their languages are poorly attested, but there appear to have been several different Coahuiltecan languages spoken by bands in different regions, including Comecrudo, Cotoname, and the language originally recorded as "Coahuiltecan" or "Coahuilteco." This language-- sometimes called "Coahuiltecan proper" to avoid confusion with languages spoken by different Coahuiltecan bands-- is generally considered to be a language isolate, although some linguists have tried to link it to other Coahuiltecan languages or to the broader Hokan language grouping. The Coahuiltecans do not exist as a distinct tribe today. After colonization they merged into Hispanic communities in southern Texas and northern Mexico, where most of their descendants live today.

Karankawa is an extinct language of the East Texas coast. Karankawa is generally considered a language isolate (a language unrelated to any other known language), though some linguists have tried to link it to the Coahuiltecan, Hokan, or even Carib language families. Since few records of the language remain and those records contain many discrepancies, this question will probably never be answered conclusively. The Karankawa language has not been spoken since the 1850's.

Comanche: Means enemy in Ute neighbors tribe. Comanches call themselves Numinu (the people). Once part of northern Shoshone tribe in Wyoming. They split off from them and moved to current location. When Europeans encountered, were primarily living in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Most today live in Oklahoma. Have own government, laws, police, and other services, like a small country. Comanches are also US citizens, so they must obey American law. In past, tribe was made of many different bands. Each band had own chief chosen by council of important men. Today, council members and tribal chairmen are elected popularly. Today, the Comanches speak English. Some, mostly elders, still speak the Comanche language. Kids normally go to school and help around the house. Kids usually like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. Once the Comanches acquired horses, kids learned to ride as young as 5 years old. Moms carried babies in cradle boards. Women were in charge of home, cooking, cleaning, build family's house, drag stuff when moving. Houses belonged to women in the Comanche culture. Men were hunters and went to war. Nearly all chiefs were men. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine. Comanches lived in tipis designed to set up and break down quickly. Women wore long, deerskin dresses. Men wore buckskin war shirts and breech cloths with leather leggings. Wore moccasins on feet. In cold weather, they would wear long buffalo-hide robes. Lady's dress or men's shirt was fringed and painted with tribal designs. Then later adopted the European style of cloth vests and colorful blanket robes. The traditional style of headdress was a cap with eagle feathers and ermine tails trailing behind it. 1800s, some men preferred to wear long feather headdresses of northern plains. People only cut their hair when were in mourning. men usually put hair in two braids. Women wore their hair loose and sometimes cut center parts red. They painted their faces for special occasions. Some still have occasions dress, but only wear traditional regalia for special ocassions. Usually walked or used dogs that pulled travois. Their staple food was buffalo. Men usually hunted buffalo by driving them off cliffs or stalking them with bow and arrows. Men in war fired bows and fought with long spears and buffalo hide shields. Traded regularly with other tribes of great plains and southwest.  Comanches liked to trade horses. traders were responsible for rapid spread of horses throughout western america. favorite trading partners were Wichita and Osage. communicated using plains sign language. fought wars, not over territory but to prove courage. war customs included counting coup, stealing enemy's weapon or horse, or forcing other tribe's warriors to retreat. sometimes enemys and sometimes allies of tribes like Kiowas, Apaches, and Utes. famous for silver and copper jewelry and fine bead work. lots of traditional legends. storytelling is very important in this culture.

Bidi: Name is Caddo for "brushwood". Bidis are an extinct tribe. They once belonged to the Caddoan stock. Villages were scattered over wide territory, principally Trinity river. Some were as far north as Neches or beyond. Creek emptying Trinity river between walker and Madison counties, Texas, bears name of tribe, according to LaHarpe, a small bay on the coast north of Matagorda bay. Number of geographic names derived of tribe survive in rea tribal tradition is that they were the oldest inhabitants of country where dwelt. Although surrounded by tribes belonging to Caddo confederacy, people long kept independence. Neighbors of Arkokisa, who live in lower trinity river and may have been allies, according to LaHarpe (1721) were on friendly terms with tribe while at war with people dwelling in Matagorda bay. During ladder part of 18th century, Bidai reported to be chief intermediaries between French and Apache in trade of firearms. Later suffered from political disturbances incident to controversy between Spaniards and French, as well as from inter-tribal wars and introduction of new diseases. As result, remnants of different villages combined, and older tribal organization was broken up. Little is known of customs and beliefs which were probably similar to those of Caddo confederacy. They lived in fixed habitations cultivated soil, hunted buffalo, which ranged through territory. Were said by Sibley in 1805 to have had "excellent character of honesty and punctuality". At their time, they numbered about 100, but in 1776-7 epidemic carried of nearly half their numbers. In the middle of 19th century, remainder of Bidais were living in a small village 12 miles from Montgomery, Texas, cultivating maize, serving as cotton pickers, and bearing faithful allegiance to Texans. Women were still skilled in basketry of " curious designs and great variety". The few survivors were probably incorporated by the caddo.

When Europeans arrived in the late 1500s, North Carolina’s northern Coastal Plain was home to two different cultures. Algonkians lived closest to the Atlantic edge, in the Outer Coastal Plain or Tidewater. The term alogonkianisn’t a tribal name; it refers, rather, to the family of languages spoken by tribes who lived from Canada to Carolina. Iroquoian speakers — the Tuscarora, Meherrin, and Nottoway tribes — lived more inland, on the Inner Coastal Plain. The Tuscarora generally lived from just south of the Neuse River to where the Virginia border is today. The Meherrin and Nottoway stayed between the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers.Through their research so far, archaeologists have sorted out the political and social boundaries of the various groups who lived in the north coastal region. Hints of their lives prior to European contact survive in their old villages and camps. Based on the distinctive items each group left, archaeologists call the Algonkian speakers Colington and the Iroquoian speakers Cashie (pronounced ca-shy).

Natural Geographic Features

The North Central Plains region is mostly rural grasslands and small towns with a few large cities. Most of this prairie land is thickgrasses. There is also a cross timbers area full ofhardwood trees. Farming is common here because of the fertile soil. So there are many kinds of crops grown in this region. There also commonly shortprairiegrass. Landforms in the Central Plains region of Texas is part of a larger Central Plains region of North America.  It is made up of 3 separate areas.  They are the Grand Prairie, the Cross Timbers, and the Rolling Plains. Each of these areas has a different type of landform, and they include prairies, forests, and plains.Paul Duro Canyon- It is a state park that encompasses more than 20,000 acres near Amarillo. It is home to many rare animals.
Joyland Amusement Park- This amusement park is located within the Mackenzie Park Recreation Area and has more than 30 rides and attractions.
Law Enforcement Museum- This museum in Eastland is located within the Eastland County Jail built in 1897. It was once home to the "Santa Claus Bank Robber".Ranching- It is a large industry in the Central Plains region. People commonly raise and sell Texas longhorn cattle, and angora goats. Agriculture-It also makes up a large portion of this region's economy. The vast grasslands full of thick grasses and rich soil make this region perfect for farming and grazing.
Oil and Natural Gas-There aren't tons of large cities in the Central Plains, so there is a lot of rural land for digging for and oil and natural gas drilling.

Indian Tribes

Wichita tribe

The Wichita are called a tribe, but this is not accurate. There was a proper Wichita tribe with a chief and subchief. Then there were independent subtribes or bands who spoke Wichita and shared the Wichita culture. The tribes called the Wacos and the Tawakonis, the Taovayas, the Tawehash, the Yscani and the Kichai are not tribes at all. They are all bands, bands that are part of the Wichita culture and lived the Wichita lifestyle. If you are confused by all this tribe and band stuff, try the Read Me First page. It explains it all.

What was the Wichita culture? Well, they spoke a language called, surprisingly, Wichita. They are part of a larger cultural group call Caddoan. As a matter of fact, the people who study languages (called linguists) tell us that the Wichita language is one of three different Plains Caddoan languages. The other two Plains Caddoan languages are Pawnee and Kichai. Before the Wichita came to Texas, they lived a semisedentary lifestyle. This means they had farms and villages, but they moved around a little, also. From spring until fall they lived a village life and grew maize, pumpkins, squash, beans and even planted plum trees. And get this; even though they lived near several rivers, the Wichita did not eat fish. In the fall until spring, the Wichita would close up their villages and migrate west to go on a buffalo hunt. Then, in the spring they would return to the village and plant crops again.

While they were in the village, the Wichita lived in grass houses. These houses were made of forked cedar poles. The poles, which were very sturdy, were covered by dried grasses. You may think that this kind of house is not very good. However, these houses were very well made and lasted for many years.

Kiowa tribe

The Kiowa lived in and around the Texas panhandle. This includes western Oklahoma and northeast New Mexico. They were nomadic buffalo hunters. That makes them hunter gatherers. They were famous for their long distance raids. Some of these raids went all the way down into Mexico and way up almost to Canada. They were friends and close allies with the Comanche who lived in the same region.

Comanche tribe

The Comanches were fierce warriors who lived on the Southern Plains. The Southern Plains extend down from the state of Nebraska into the north part of Texas. See the map. The Comanches are one of the most historically important Indian cultures from Texas. The Comanches were much more than just warriors. According to the old Spanish records and other sources they were also very good traders. The Spanish used to hold trade fairs in the city of Taos and in Santa Fe in what is now New Mexico. Records from trade fairs in old Taos and Santa Fe ( look those cities up on a map ) describe the Comanches at the trade fairs. They were well dressed. The Comanche leaders often wore fine European clothes, with many silver conchos and fine leather boots. And they had money. They would come to trade in organized groups. There was always one Comanche in these groups who could speak Spanish, French, and four or five Indian languages. The group always had a leader who was very skilled as a trader and diplomat. The problem was most of what they had to sell or trade was stuff they had stolen. They sold the stolen horses and women and children they had kidnapped. The relatives of the women and children would come to these fairs to buy them back. This kidnapping for ransom would later get the Comanche in big trouble with the American settlers who were much less tolerant of it than the Spanish or Pueblo Indians were.

Tonkawa: Name comes from word meaning "they keep together" in language of Wichita language, but isn't certain. Tonkawa people are from Texas. They were forced to move to Oklahoma in 1800s, most still live there today. Tonakawas have their own government, police, laws and other services, but, still US citizens, have to follow American law. In the past, they were led by their own chief. Today they are governed by council members who are elected by tribal members. Speak English today, but would speak Tonkawa language. Tare are no more native Tonkawa speakers. Young people today are working to bring back language. Kids normally go to school and help around the house. They also like to go fishing and hunting with their fathers. Boys and girls enjoyed running races. Moms traditionally carried babies in a cradleboard. Women did most of the child care and cooking now that only men could be chiefs. However, both genders got involved in story telling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine. Tonkawas lived in large buffalo-hide tents called tipis. These were designed to set up and break down quickly. Village could be packed up and ready to move within an hour. Women wore wraparound deerskin skirts. Men wore breechcloths. In cold weather, women wore shawls made of rabbit fur. Men wore painted buffalo robes. Made pretty moccasins, but wore only for special occasions. Tonkawas normally went barefoot. Men did not wear headdresses. Sometimes they would tie a few feathers to a lock of hair. Men wore long braided hair. Warriors sometimes cut hair on left side short. Women wore their hair either loose or in one long braid. Tonkawas wore tribal tattoos and painted their faces for special occasions. Some still have moccasins or a buckskin drees but are only wore for special occasions. They traveled using dogs pulling travois to carry their belongings. Tonkawas were big game hunters. They hunted buffalo, deer, fished in rivers, collected roots, nuts, fruits, they were not farmers, but corn was in their diet due to trading. Hunters used bows and arrows. In war, men fired bows or fought with war clubs and hide shields. Tonkawas traded regularly with tribes of southern plains and southwest. Liked to trade buffalo products to farming tribes such as Caddo and Pueblo Indians in exchange for corn. Tonkawas fought wars with other tribes. They didn’t fight over territory but to prove courage. Fight were rarely to death or destroyed each others villages. War customs included counting coup, stealing enemy's weapon or horse, or forcing other tribe's warriors to retreat. Tonkawas frequently fought with the Apache and Comanche. They were known for their hide paintings and copper jewelry. There are lots of traditional Tonkawa legends and fairy tales.

Caddo: Word Caddo comes from own name, Kadohadacho. Original meaning is not certainly known. Some believe it comes from native words for "true chiefs", others think it come from a place name the comes from the Caddo word for "sharp". Caddos are original residents from southern plains, particularly Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana (most today live in Oklahoma). Culture has own government, laws, police, and other services, just like a small country. Also US citizens, so have to obey American law. Each Caddo band was led by chief chosen by council of warriors. Before, all chiefs were male. Today, council members and chairmen are elected, just as senators and governors. They can either be men or woman. Most Caddo speak English today, but some people, especially elders, also speak native Caddo language. This language is an endangered language, but people work to keep it alive. Kids go to school and help around the house. Caddo kids often like to go hunting and fishing with fathers. Moms traditionally carried babies in cradle boards on their backs. Men were hunters and went to war. Women were farmers and did most of child care and cooking. Men and women took part in storytelling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine. Caddos in Louisiana built tall bee-hive shaped grass houses. Caddos in Texas and Oklahoma built earthen lodges with thatched roofs. Each Caddo village included a temple and sports field. Sometimes villages were surrounded by log walls for protection. Men wore breechcloths with leggings. Women wore wraparound skirts and poncho tops made of woven fiber and deer skin. Both wore earrings and moccasins. Men did not usually wear shirts but in cold weather, both would wear buffalo robes. In colonial times Caddos adopted European costume such as cloth jackets and calico dresses. Men usually cut their hair in mohawk or scalplock style. Women usually wore long hair in a bun. For special occasions, women fastened hair buns with beaded hair ornaments and long trailing ribbons. Caddos also wore tribal tattoos and women painted hair and body bright colors for special occasions. Some Caddo people still wear moccasins or a ribbon shirt, but wear modern clothes instead of breechcloths. Only wear roaches in hair for special occasions. Caddos knew how to make dugout canoes from hollowed out logs. Proffered to travel by land. Used dogs to help them carry belongings. Caddos were farming people. Women ha4rvested crops of corn, beans, pumpkins, and sunflowers. Men hunted for deer, buffalo, small game, and went fishing. Traditional Caddo foods included corn bread, soups, and stews. Caddo Indians also mined salt from underground mines, which they boiled to use in their cooking. Hunters primarily used bows and arrows. Fishermen caught fish/ shellfish in basket traps. Warriors fired bows or fought with lances, or tomahawks. Farmers used hoes and spades, which they made from wood, carved bone, and mussel shells. also made axes from heave stone heads for chopping wood. Caddos were most famous for pottery. Made elaborately decorated pots and bottles in many different styles. Traditional art forms include native basketry and wood carving. Most important Caddo instrument is drums, which are very large. Group of Caddo men stand around drum and play it together while others dance in circle and sing. Can see Caddo dances today at powwows, which are cultural festivals attended by many different tribes and are open to the public. Caddos interacted frequently with all other tribes of southern plains, particularly Osage, Comanche, Kiowa, and  Quapaw. Sometimes friendly, trading goods and intermarrying, other times fought war against each other. Didn't fight over territory, but instead to prove courage. Rarely fought to death and almost never destroyed each others villages. instead preferred count coup (touch opponent without harming him), steal enemy's weapon or horse, or force other tribes warriors to retreat. $Europeans who first met them were surprised by how often Caddos fought with neighbors, yet how easily made peace with them when done fighting. Lots of traditional Caddo legends and fairytales. Storytelling is very important to culture.

Wichita: Wichita Indians were mainly people form southern Oklahoma and northern Texas however, when Europeans arrived, the population forced them to further north, into Kansas, where there is a city named for them. Most Wichita people are living in Oklahoma today. Wichita nation has its own rules, laws, government, like a small country, but Wichita people, still U.S. Citizens, have to follow the American laws and rules. Today, the Wichita people speak English, making the Wichita language an endangered language, however, some elders still talk the native Wichita language. Wichita children do what most children today. Kids loved to go fishing with their fathers. Mothers usually carried their young kid in a cradleboard on their back, something many Americans today adopted. Wichita Indian roles for men were hunting, and protecting their families, women were said to be farmers and do most of the child care and cooking. Only men became chiefs, but both men and woman con enroll in storytelling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine. Houses were usually made as beehive-shaped thatched with grass. When men would go to war they would use teepees as temporary shelter. Men wore breechcloths with leggings. Women wore wraparound skirts and poncho tops made of woven fiber and deerskin. Both genders used earrings and moccasins. Men did not wear shirts, but both would wear buffalo robes in cold weather. Men cut hair in Mohawk style or left scalp lock (long lock of hair on top of heads). Women wore long hair in braid or bun. Wear tribal tattoos and paint faces for special occasions. People today still have traditional clothes which are used for special occasions but now wear modern clothing. For transportation oversea they use rafts but overland use dogs that pull travois (a kind of drag sled) to carry belongings. Wichitas were farming people. Women raised crops of corn, beans, squash, and pumpkins. Men hunted deer and small game, and also took part in seasonal buffalo buns. In war, men fired bows or fought with southern plains, and southeast, such as Caddo and Comanche. Also fought wars with other tribes. Wichitas didn’t fight over territory but instead to prove courage.  wars were rarely fought to death or destroyed each other's villages. Instead, war customs included counting coup ( touching an opponent in battle without hurting them), stealing enemy's weapon or horse, or forcing other tribe's warrior to retreat. Some tribes that the Wichitas fought recently with were the Apaches and Osage. Wichita artists were known for their pottery and beadwork, and hide paintings. Traditional legends, fairy tales and storytelling are a big part of this culture, so they have many stories.

The Kiowa lived in and around the Texas panhandle. This includes western Oklahoma and northeast New Mexico. They were nomadic buffalo hunters. That makes them hunter gatherers. They were friends and close allies with the Comanche who lived in the same region. Like the Comanche, they lived in tee-pees. Tee-pees are easy to move and being nomads the Kiowa moved all the time. They moved to follow buffalo herds. Buffalo meat was their most important food.  They also gathered plants, roots and berries to eat when they could find them. The women did this gathering. The men hunted.

They organized themselves by age. This is called age grade social organization. This means people of certain age ranges would belong to social organizations. As a person got older he or she would move from one social organization to the next. The boys and young men's organizations were the most important.

Ranching is a large industry in the Central Plains region. People commonly raise and sell Texas longhorn cattle, and angora goats. Agriculture also makes up a large portion of this region's economy. The vast grasslands full of thick grasses and rich soil make this region perfect for farming and grazing. Another large industry is oil and natural gas. There aren't tons of large cities in the Central Plains, so there is a lot of rural land for farming, ranching, and oil and natural gas drilling.
