In History:
Scholars used to think the Tonkawa originated in central Texas. Recent research, however, has shown that the tribe inhabited north-eastern Oklahoma in 1601. By 1700, the stronger and more aggressive Apache had pushed the Tonkawa south to the Red River. They kept migrating into the area of Texas, where they allied with the Lipan Apache.
Modern Day:
The tribe's annual economic impact is $16,753,413. They operate two smokeshops and two casinos, the Tonkawa Indian Casino in Tonkawa and Native Lights Casino in Newkirk.
