ISBN: 9780890968093.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistorian David La Vere has gathered a wealth of vivid detail about life among the former Texas Indian peoples, including the Kiowas, Comanches, Wichitas, Caddos, Tonkawas, and Lipan Apaches. Culled from 112 volumes of the Indian-Pioneer Histories in the Indian Archives at the Oklahoma Historical Society, these oral histories also include interviews with non-Indian neighbors. Together, their recollections provide an exceptional picture of the details of daily life-war and raiding, hunting and planting, foodways, dress, parties and spiritual practices, education, health, and housing.\nLa Vere sets the stage for this ethnographic detail with a lively, readable history of the succession of peoples who lived in Texas from the Paleo-Indians until the present. It is a clear overview of the basic social structures of the tribes, the relations among tribes and, later, of the Indians with the Europeans who came to the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Texas AnM University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44850720505909,"sku":"ByrdShop_0890968098","price":93.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0890968098_c53549d9-25f4-43fb-9519-1c2530365a96.jpg?v=1781282894","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/life-among-the-texas-indians-the-wpa-narratives-elma-dill-russell-spencer-series-in-the-west-and-southwest-9780890968093","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
