[From the text] Texas has been characterized as the biological crossroads of North America. Perhaps it could also be considered a cultural crossroads as well, for in the nineteenth century, Texas became the home of more [Indian] tribes of a diversified character than any other state or region in the United States. By the early nineteenth century there were at least twenty-three different tribes residing in the Republic. Some of these tribes, like the Cherokees and the Comanches, would become an integral part of the Republic's culture and history, while other tribes faced survival (accommodation and acculturation), removal, or even extinction, in relative obscurity. There were the Coastal Tribes represented primarily by the Karankawas. There were the Eastern Woodland Tribes, such as the Caddos and related tribes, in addition to others which were relatively recent immigrants to Texas: the Cherokees, Creeks, Shawnees, Delawares, and even Seminoles. There were the Prairie Tribes, represented primarily by the Wichitas and Wacos, along with the immigant Tonkawas and Kickapoos. Finally, there were the tribes representing the Plains Indian culture: the Kiowas, Southern Cheyennes, Arapahos, Lipan Apaches and Comanches. As the first Anglo settlers entered what would become the Republic of Texas, they not only encountered Mexicans, but also the first "Native Texans"- the Indians. By the beginning of the 19th century, these Texas Indians had already experienced 3 centuries of exposure to various Spanish, French, and Anglo American explorers, freebooters, missionaries, traders, soldiers, and settlers. The impact of this contact was immense, from the acquisition of the "white man's dog" (the horse), to the introduction of diseases like measles and smallpox, and the resulting epidemics. By the early years of the Republic, the eastern and coastal tribes had been decimated by diseases, and most of the first Anglo settlements were outside the usual Comanche range. Consequently, Stephen F Austin's colonists incorrectly perceived Texas to be mostly uninhabited and theirs to claim.
