The Karankawa of Texas

The Texas coast was home to one of the most misunderstood peoples of North America--the Karankawa. Made up of five different tribes who shared a common language and cultural traditions, the Karankawa are often regarded as a warlike, violent tribe. This reputation, however, is only a small piece of the story of this extinct culture. This book explores the history and traditions of this intriguing tribe of Native Americans.
