Ha’ah’hey
Since the beginning of time, the Karankawa Peoples have operated as separate clans, with the commonality of environment and language. There were no larger governing bodies, there was no official unification of the different clans, there was no “consistent” organizing… until the 21st century.
Now, in contemporary times, the Karankawa have gathered as direct lineal descendants of our Karankawa ancestors, who are passionate about the future of our people, our prosperity, the maintenance and revitalization of our culture, and our general welfare.
We are individuals from different clans working hard to unify, with tremendous success AND difficulties along the way.
One of the difficulties we face as contemporary peoples is that the generational trauma of colonialism, genocide, and displacement still affect us, not just in our own personal lives but our community. This trauma can be seen in fragmentation of our peoples.
We are still here. And so too are those of us who go their own way. The Karankawa are few, but strong, and though we do our best to unify as one people, there will always be Karankawa that go their own path.
No matter how far they go, we acknowledge that these people will never go so far that they will not be Karankawa. We are connected, through thick and thin.
We have said before that we are a peaceful people. We do not seek to control nor understand our Karankawa relatives, but accept them, and move forward. Hopefully, together.
Where there is one voice who claims to represent many, we invite you to sit and listen and decide the path you want to walk. Ours is one of peace, unification of our people, and stewardship for our ancestral and contemporary homelands.
