AMERICAN INDIANS

The first people arrived in Texas about 12,000 years ago.

Those ancient Indians hunted the mammoths and mastodons.

Some of the Indians lived in caves' walls.

By the year A.D. 1500, many Indian groups lived in Texas.

The Caddos were a united group of about twenty-five smaller Indian groups.

They lived in east Texas.

Tha Caddos called each other tejas, or "friends". Later, Spaniards changed this slightly to texas. Other Texas Indian groups included the Tonkawas, Comanches, Jumanos, and Karankawas
