Chapter 1 Thought Questions:
1a) "Wichita Mortar"
-what important roles did women perform in pre-Columbian Native American cultures?
Women's role in pre-Columbian Native American cultures was carrying out agricultural work,
grinding grains to prepare food for the family, and carrying out household tasks, using old
traditional methods that require strength and skills to do so.
1b) "How They Caught Fish"
-Which native American groups in Texas relied on canoes for fishing and transportation?
How did canoes help them perform these functions?
The coastal tribes of Native Americans were the ones who relied on canoes for fishing and
transportation; since one canoe could hold an entire family and their stuff, it helped them with
moving during coastal bays and rivers, and they used to fish in a dugout canoe as others were
spearfishing in the river behind them.
1c) "A Wichita Indian Village"
-How did the shelters of various native American groups reflect the general orientation of
their daily lives, impacted most strongly by how they acquired food?
The shelters of native Americans were strongly impacted by how they acquired food and their
daily lives. For example, the coastal groups used small portable huts covered with moss and
made in such a way it could be quickly unfolded and assembled due to their permanent mobility,
while nomadic groups used leather-covered tepees, while the Caddo lived in thatched and grass
shelters since they were an agricultural people.
Chapter 2:
"The DeLeon Expedition Finds the Ruins of Fort St. Louis"
1- according to the Spanish writer, what had the Karankawa attackers done to the
property of the French after their attack?
The French's property was entirely destroyed by the Karankawa after their attack. When the
Spaniards arrived, they found homes robbed, books torn apart, chests unlocked and stolen.
2-How many bodies did the Spanish find at the Fort? What did they do with them? Where
did most of the bodies of the other French probably end up, according to the writer?
The Spanish discovered three remains bodies, one of which they thought to be a lady. They
prayed over the dead during mass and buried them in the earth out of respect after that. Since the
Spaniards did not discover any other bodies, it was supposed that the remaining victims had been
dumped into the river for alligators to eat.
3- In what condition did the Spanish expedition find the buildings inside Fort St. Louis?
How suitable for defense did the writer find the Fort’s location in general?
Due to its mud-covered exteriors and interiors, the writer concluded that the Fort's structures
were ineffective for defense. The building's roof was likewise covered in buffalo hides, but he
thought that the ground was excellent terrain for protection.

1- what do you think were some of the more demanding words and phrases that Austin
used to describe the Fredonian rebels and their cause?
Austin claimed that these males were criminals fascinated with violence, making them worse
than Native Americans. Also, the fact that Austin viewed the Fredonian rebels as no longer
Americans but rather desperate outlaws who had no other goal than to destroy the nation was
among the most scathing adjectives and phrases he used to characterize them.
2-how did Austin try to use the
Fredonians’ alliance Cherokee Indians
to rally his people to
end the revolt?
Austin attempted to gather his people to end the uprising by urging them to take up arms for
liberty. In contrast, the Fredonian rebels siding with the Indians swore to continue a war of
murder and plunder against Texans. He tried to persuade people to live up to national standards
and defend their families and property.
