Best Answer

Each Caddo group had its own government, headed by two leaders. One leader handled matters of war and peace, and the other directed religious affairs. A Caddo leader usually had many helpers, and both women and men could hold powerful positions in government. The Caddos were the most numerous and agriculturally productive of all the native Texas nations. From 1520 to 1690, because of the introduction of European diseases, their numbers decreased from around 200,000 to only about 12,000.
