The Coahuiltecan appeared to be extinct as a people, integrated into the Spanish-speaking mestizo community. In 1827 only four property owners in San Antonio were listed in the census as "Indians." A man identified as a "Mission Indian," probably a Coahuiltecan, fought on the Texan side in the Texas Revolution in 1836.
The Hape people were a Native American tribe of the Coahuiltecan group. They lived in the region of present-day Texas until their eradication in the late 17th century. [1] Spanish chroniclers also recorded the tribe name as Ape, Jeapa, Xape, [1] Aba, Ara, Gaapa, Hipe, Iape, Xiapoz, or Xapoz. [2]
Edward Sapir (1920) accepted Swanton's proposal and grouped this hypothetical Coahuiltecan into his Hokan stock. After these proposals, documentation of the Garza and Mamulique languages was brought to light, and Goddard (1979) believes that there is sufficient similarity between them and Comecrudan for them to be considered genetically related.
The Payaya, like other Coahuiltecan peoples, had a hunter-gatherer society. The Spanish recorded their nut-harvesting techniques. The Spanish recorded their nut-harvesting techniques. Historians have speculated that the band's movements in the Edwards Plateau is an indication that pecans were a substantive protein source to the Payaya.
The Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas, Inc., is a cultural heritage organization of individuals who identify as descendants of the Comecrudo people.Also known as the Carrizo people, the Comecrudo were a historic Coahuiltecan tribe who lived in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the 17th to 19th centuries.
The Teya may have been none of the above but instead may have been a Coahuiltecan or Tonkawa group. Most of these tribes resided in southern and central Texas. An old man who said he had previously met Spaniards, probably Cabeza de Vaca, gives credence to a southern origin of the Teyas.
The name Comecrudo means "raw meat eaters" in Spanish. Spanish colonists also called them the Carrizo, [1] meaning "reed." [2] In 1886, they told Gaschet they preferred the name Comecrudo over Carrizo. [2]
The first three were first proposed to be related by John Wesley Powell in 1891, in a grouping then called Coahuiltecan. Goddard (1979) groups the latter three in a Comecrudan family while considering the others language isolates. The current composition and the present name "Pakawan" are due to Manaster Ramer (1996).
