BACK GALLERY

Texas Native American Music

This exhibit is the first of its kind exploring the ways of life and the music of Texas Native American Tribes. The exhibit presents fascinating information, recordings, artwork, maps, photos, and videos.

There are three exhibit sections: The first looks at extinct tribes, those living in Texas at the time of the early explorers, including information on the music of these groups as described by the explorers. This section includes tribes such as the Atakapans, Jumanos, Karankawas and Coahuiltecans. The next section presents exiled native Texas tribes who were forced out of Texas and relocated to New Mexico and Oklahoma, including the Kiowa, Mescalero Apache, Caddo, Tonkawa, Kiowa Apache, Wichita and Comanche. The third section documents the immigrant tribes who were driven into Texas from other states, including the Kickapoo, Tiguas and Alabama Coushatta, all of whom currently reside in Texas. This amazing Texas Native American Music Exhibit is the result of more than 23 years of research and documentation.
