Best Answer

The Tonkawa tribe, historically based in present-day Texas, had a varied diet that included a range of foods available in their region. They were primarily hunter-gatherers and consumed foods such as bison, deer, wild turkey, rabbits, fish, and various wild plants and fruits. They also practiced agriculture to some extent, growing crops like corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers. Additionally, they utilized Natural Resources such as nuts, seeds, and roots to supplement their diet.
