Karankawa people
Karankawa (also Karankawan,Carancahua, Clamcoëhs, and called in their language Auia) was a tribe of Native Americans, now a tribal group, who played a pivotal part in early Texas history.
The term ''Karankawa'' persisted and has been popularly applied to a group of Native American tribes who have a common dialect and culture. These people can be more specifically identified as the Capoques〔Fogelson 659〕 (Cocos), Kohanis, Kopanes, Kronks, and Karankawa (Carancaquacas) bands. They inhabited the Gulf Coast of Texas from Galveston Bay in the present-day Greater Houston area, then south toward Corpus Christi Bay.
Exposure to new infectious diseases, loss of control over territory, conflict with the newly arrived Europeans, and war brought them to lose their land before 1860.
==Language==
The Karankawa language, of which only about a hundred words are preserved, cannot be classified, as so little is known of languages in this region. The meaning of the name ''Karankawa'' is not certain. It is believed to mean "dog-lovers" or "dog-helpers." That rendering seems credible, since the Karankawas had dogs,which were a fox or coyote-like species. In a nomadic-type culture, the people seasonally migrated between the mainland and the barrier islands.
