Gone to Texas Study Questions (Module 1)
1. How did the first Texans arrive here? How do we know anything of what their lives and cultures were like? What do we learn from the pictographs in the Pecos River area? Migrated from Siberia to North America and downwards towards the plains of North America and then down further to the plains that are now known as the panhandle of Texas.-By their behavior and their ability to survive during this time/ says that most people now a days couldn’t.- Settled in west Texas( very dry plains, hot days/cool nights)
2. What part of Texas did the Caddoans occupy? What cultural advances entitle them to be called the “Romans of Texas Indians”? What did the Caddoans contribute of importance to our vocabulary? In the mixed-pine-oak-hickory woodlands of east Texas- Their religious and political organization (they built places of worship, their war strategies were really good, they spilt up into three affiliated groups to cover more areas) –the Spanish later turned the Caddo work “techas” to “friend” and then into “Tejas” and then later changed to “Texas” but also the the Caddo word established our states motto “Friendship”
3. Why does the author call the Atakapans, Karankawas, and Coahuiltecans the least culturally developed of Texas Indians? They had limited Resources due to living on the coastal region that was difficult for agriculture and only limited to hunting, fishing and gathering. Also they moved around a lot rather than in one location, and they were limited in supplies to make other means of storage( ceramics, or baskets)
4. What is the origin of the Atakapans name? How did they use alligators? Why might these Indians be especially significant to us at Kingwood College? “Eaters of men” which they got for their cannibalism that they believed was a way to keep the person from entering a second life as punishment.- for food, hide and for its oil to repeal insects- maybe kingwood could have been the area
