The Karankawa Truth, Not the White Man's Lies

This video explores the true story of the Karankawa people of the Texas Gulf Coast, dispelling myths that they were cannibals or savages. Instead, they were skilled navigators, fishermen, and compassionate people who thrived off the land long before European contact. The video delves into their way of life, from using natural resources like wood for canoes and tools to harvesting the Gulf's bounty of fish, fruits, and vegetables. It also highlights their use of smoke signals and sign language for communication with neighboring tribes. Discover the real history of the Karankawa, not the biased accounts written by outsiders.
