Do you know the sense of word "Karankawa"? It's meaning is not certain. It is believed to mean "dog-lovers" or "dog-raisers." It were also a group of Native American peoples (also Karankawan, Clamcoëhs, and called in their language Auia) , now extinct as a tribal group, who played a pivotal part in early Texas history.

The Karankawa Indians lived along the Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Their territory was from the west end of Galveston Island down the coast to where Corpus Christie is today. There were several bands, or maybe even several tribes. We are not sure, because much of the history of the Karankawa is lost. No one bothered to study them in any detail while they were still around to study. Making things worse, the Karankawa were favorite targets of many false myths and made up stories.

Hello Olya,
ОтветитьУдалитьI must admit, that you have done a great job!
Mostly everything was new for me, but in time, very exciting. It was really interesting to find out, that the Karankawa were favorite targets of many false myths and made up stories and that they were pretty good fighters and European settlers feared them.
So, I can say, that you've found really nice information! Nice pictures, cognitive links. Everything is good.
I appreciate your work!
