Karankawa Tribe of Texas Celebrates Historical Marker Unveiling
The Karankawa Tribe of Texas and members of the Five Rivers Council gathered on July 25, 2026 at Suter Park in Corpus Christi, Texas to celebrate a historical moment for their people.
An outdated, offensive, and incorrect historical marker was replaced by an updated one that better reflects the truth about The Karankawa People.
Starting in Feb 2022, women of the Hawk Clan approached the Corpus Christi Historical Commission with a proposal to correct the marker on these following points:
– We were NOT nomadic, we were semi-nomadic.
– We were NOT primitive, we had advanced finishing equipment, pottery, and fire-starting tools.
– We subsisted on more than just roots and fruit, we live in an abundant land with large game as well.
– There is no physical evidence that Karankawa women were shorter and stouter than the men.
– We were NOT savages, we were peoples who defended our homelands.
– We did NOT disapppear, we are still here.
This year’s long process could not have been completed without the successful collaboration of our allied historians, Dr. Peter Moore and Dr. Tim Seiter as well as the Historical Commission.
We also acknowledge all the work from our neighboring and allied tribes that was done before us, that paved a path for the success we have today.
Thank you.

Karankawa Tribe of Texas Reconnect Meeting for August 2025
Karankawa Tribe of Texas Coyote Clan holds Naming Ceremony for Neka Kayda, Ghost Daughter, The Red Wolf.
The Karankawa Tribe of Texas Five Rivers Council leaned on the wisdoms and teachings of The Coyote Clan for this incredible collaboration with Colossal Labs.
Not without intense debate, Colossal worked alongside other Indigenous reps, artists, and activists to continue (and succeed) in the de-extinction work of the Dire Wolf, alongside the way aiding with the revival of our precious Relation, the Ghost Wolf, also known as the Red Wolf.
The Karankawa Peoples and the Red Wolf do have much in common. Both being called extinct. Both being forcefully moved off of their homelands through violence and loss of natural habitat. Both going through a crucial conservation stage. Both changing history and, despite all odds, pushing forward on their path.
A warm welcome is extended to Neka Kayda (Ghost Daughter) the Red Wolf as she begins to create a new path for all of those who follow her. It is with extreme humility, excitement, and eagerness that we share this news with you the public and with you the Karankawa People. It is thanks to all of your support that we were able to aid in this collaboration.
Plah bewwus (thank you).
