  which means village.

Some historians believed the Jumano of Texas
descended from the Anasazi, a group of people who
lived in cliffs in Colorado.

Housing

• The Jumanos lived in Adobe houses. Adobe is a
  type of brick made from straw and mud.

They had more than one stories and ladders
leading up to the 2nd story. Based on their
housing do you think they were nomads or
sedentary?

SEDENTARY!

• They stayed in one place. So were they
  hunter-gatherers or farmers? Why?
• They were farmers, but they lived in the
  mountains and basins, does that make sense?

7
Farmers

• Farming is very hard in the mountains and basins
  because they dont have a lot of water.
• So the Jumano were very smart and used irrigation
  systems to bring water to their crops from nearby
  streams.

8
Crops

• Jumanos grew many vegetables including corn,
  beans, and squash. But what were they missing in
  their diet?
• Meat! Where will they get their meat from?

9
Bartering or Trading

• The Jumano had to barter their crops for meat.
  Which tribes did the Jumano probably trade with?
• Mainly the Apache and Comanche (more with the
  Apache)
• If they barter with vegetables, what will the
  Apache give to them in return?
• Buffalo meat, buffalo hides, anything with
  buffalo!

Jumano Today?

• When white settlers came to Texas the Jumano
  worked with them. But slowly the settlers stopped
  working with the Jumano and started working with
  a Caddo, a larger tribe.
• Jumanos started working more with the Apache and
  its believed they started becoming a part of
  other tribes. Today there are no Jumano villages
  and only a very small number of descendents left
  in Texas.
