While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Chayopin. One of the tribes named by Garcia (Manual,
title, 1760) as living at the missions about Rio San Antonio and Rio Grande
in Texas, and identified by Mooney as a division of the
Tonkawa. In 1785 there was a rancheria called Chayopin, with 8 inhabitants,
near the presidio of La Bahia (the present Goliad) and the mission of Espiritu
Santo de Zъсiga, on the lower San Antonio
(Bancroft, No. Mex. States, i, 659, 1886).
Chilano. A village or tribe, probably Caddoan, visited
by De Soto s troops under Moscoso toward the close of 1542, and at that time
situated in N. E. Texas, near upper Sabine r. See Gentl. of Elvas (1557 ) in
French, Hist. Coll. La., ii, 201, 1850.
Coapites. An unidentified tribe or band formerly living
in the coast region of the present State of Texas. Rivera, Diario y
Derrotero, leg. 2602, 1736.
Coayos. An unidentified tribe that lived near the
Cutalchiches, Malicones, and Susolas, of whom Cabeza de Vaca (Smith trans.,
72, 1851) heard during his stay with the Avavares in Texas in 1527-34.
Colete. One of the two principal villages of the
Koasati on lower Trinity r., Tex. Bollaert in Jour. Ethnol. Soc. Lond., n,
282, 1850.
Como. An unidentified tribe that lived near the Susola,
of whom Cabeza de Vaca (Smith trans., 84, 1851) heard while in Texas in
1527-34. The people seem to have been nearer the coast than the Susola, who, at
the time Cabeza de Vaca heard of them, were at war with the Atayos (Adai).
Coyabegux. A village or tribe, now extinct, mentioned
by Joutel as being N. or N. w. of Maligne (Colorado) r., Tex., in 1687. This
region was controlled chiefly by Caddoan tribes. The name seems to have been
given Joutel by Ebahamo Indians, who were closely affiliated with the Karankawa.
See Gatschet, Karankawa Indians, 35, 1891; Charlevoix, New France, iv,
78, 1870.
Cuchendado. A Texan tribe, the last that Cabeza de Vaca
met before he left the Gulf coast to continue inland. Cabeza de Vaca, Nar.
(1542), Smith trans., 137, 1871.
