Ebook Learn about Texas Indians
When we talk about Texas Indians, we mean all the different sorts of Native Americans who have ever lived, and presently live, in the part of North America called Texas.
“Native Americans,” in turn, are all the descendants, past and present, of the first people to inhabit North America, Central America, South America and the Caribbean Islands.
The first person to call Native Americans “Indians” was Christopher columbus. He did this by mistake, since he thought he had landed on one of the islands east of India called the Indies (or East Indies). Actually, his voyage across the Atlantic had brought him to one of the islands off the coast of Central America, now called the West Indies. Only later did Columbus realize that he had discovered entirely new land. However, his mistaken name “Indians” for the inhabitants of his new-found island was later used for all of North and South America’s native peoples, and is still in use.
