Caddo and Comanche: American Indian Tribes in Texas (Primary Source Readers: Texas History)

The Caddo and Comanche were two of the largest American Indian groups living in Texas before European contact. They had their own traditions, but they shared a deep respect for nature. When Europeans arrived, they responded differently to these foreigners. The Caddo tried to live in peace with white settlers through trade. But the Comanche were more warlike, fighting against European colonists, American settlers, and other American Indian groups. And they both continue to fight to keep their cultures alive.
