I saw someone with an austin area land acknowledgment that these lands were taken from karankawa, Apache, and Comanche. I made the comment that it was disturbing to see slavers be honored in such a way, but that went over their head. But, it got me thinking what a real "land acknowledgment " of central Texas may look like.

Are their names for the various cultures/people that have risen and fallen in central Texas through the millennium? I've started a not very educated attempt below. Would appreciate additional clarification/ addition to the list.

Plainview culture says "Hi!".

I think it's interesting that the Plainview. Folsom, and Clovis culture sites are all within a 150 mile radius in West Texas/Eastern New Mexico.

Are we just talking Austin and the area immediately surrounding Travis County?
There were pre-Clovis people in the area for sure - Gault Site near Florence. 16-20,000 years old.

Caddo were East Texas although they ranged into the central Texas area and probably the most dominant culture in Texas for a long period of time before the Comanche/Spanish/Americans/Texans showed up.

The Tonkawa were in Central Texas around Austin area when the Spanish arrived. They were originally from Western Oklahoma where they were pushed off their lands by the Apache.

The Apache were subsequently ran off that same area by the Comanche and moved to the Central Texas area where the became allies of the Tonkawa against said Comanche. They subsequently left and went to Mexico due to the depredations by the Comanche.

I would say that Austin/Travis County was in the Comanche's ETJ. They didn't "live" there but for sure had lots of influence.

Karankawa were along the coastal bend.

Don't forget the Mexicans they owned it too.

This is very good site. Fills in the time period prior to the incursions of the historic tribes.
