When Europeans arrived
in
the
Texas region
there were several races of Native peoples divided into many smaller tribes
They were Caddoan
Atakapan
Athabaskan
Coahuiltecan
and
Uto-Aztecan
the
Uto-Aztecan Puebloan peoples lived neared
the
Rio Grande
in
the
western portion of
the
state
the
Athabaskan-speaking Apache tribes lived throughout
the
interior
the
Caddoans controlled much of
the
Red River region and
the
Atakapans were mostly centered along
the
Gulf Coast
at
least one tribe of Coahuiltecans
the
Aranama
lived
in
southern Texas
This entire culture group
primarily centered
in
northeastern Mexico
is
now extinct
It
is
difficult
to
say who lived
in
the
northwestern region of
the
state originally
By
the
time
the
region came
to
be explored
it
belonged
to
the fairly well-known Comanche
another Uto-Aztecan people who had transitioned into
a
powerful horse culture
but it
is
believed that they came later
and
did not live there during
the
16th century
it
may have been claimed
by
several different peoples
including Uto-Aztecans
Athabaskans
or even Dhegihan Siouans. .
