The Nadaco, also commonly known as the Anadarko, are a Native American tribe from eastern Texas.〔Sturtevant, 617〕 Their name, Nadá-kuh, means "bumblebee place."〔Sturtevant, 630〕 ==History== The Nadaco were part of the Hasinai branch of the Caddo Confederacy and occupied territory in present-day east Texas.〔Sturtevant, 616〕 Spanish explorers encountered the tribe in 1542 in east Texas. Around 1700, the tribe joined the Hasinai but kept their distinct identity and culture.〔〔May, Jon D. (Anadarko. ) Oklahoma Historical Society's Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.'' (retrieved 6 Sept 2009)〕 In 1716, Spanish monks founded the San José Mission to serve the Nadaco and the Nasoni tribes.〔Bolton, 48 and 50〕 By 1787, they lived in villages along the Sabine River in the northern part of Panola County, Texas.〔(The Nadaco. ) ''Access Genealogy''. (retrieved 6 Sept 2009)〕 By Texas Independence in 1836, the tribe had moved to the forks of the Trinity River. During the winter of 1838-39 the Texans forced the Nadaco from their ancestral homelands into Indian Territory. Disliking the harsh conditions in Indian Territory, the tribe returned to Texas in 1843, settling along the Brazos River. After Texas became a state, the United States federal government signed a treaty with the Nadaco and neighboring tribes; however, their lands were soon overrun by European-American settlers.〔 In 1859, the Nadaco were again removed to Indian Territory to lands near the Wichita Agency. Their principal leader Lesh was killed in 1862, and many of the tribe fled to Kansas to avoid Civil War hostilities. Several Indian tribes allied with Confederate forces in Indian Territory, and there were skirmishes with Union troops. The Nadaco returned to the Territory in 1867. In 1862 the Wichita-Caddo Reservation was established, and the Nadaco joined the greater Caddo Nation there.〔 In 1950, an estimated 449 Nadaco lived in Caddo County, Oklahoma.〔 Today, Nadaco people are enrolled as members in the federally recognized Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, headquartered in Binger, Oklahoma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nadaco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
