The Caddo Indians were agriculturalists whose way of life emerged by A.D. 900 in archaeological sites in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. When members of Hernando de Soto's expedition entered the region in 1542, thriving Caddo communities were distributed along the Brazos, Trinity, Neches, Sabine, Red, and Ouachita rivers. These communities played important economic and diplomatic roles during the seventeenth and eighteenth century colonial era. The Caddo people were forcibly removed to reservations in Texas and Oklahoma during the nineteenth century. | |
