Did the Jumanos live near the Rio Grande?
The Jumanos who remained near the Rio Grande lived in large villages. All together, some 10,000 people lived in the five Jumano vil- lages near La Junta de los Ríos, north of Big Bend. In some villages, the Jumanos built their houses around a central plaza.
Why did the Jumano migrate to the Rio Grande region?
They combined and became a new people in a process of ethnogenesis, formed from refugees fleeing the effects of disease, Spanish missions, and Spanish slaving raids south of the Rio Grande.
What crops did the Jumano tribe grow?
Jumanos along the Rio Grande in west Texas grew beans, corn, squash and gathered mesquite beans, screw beans and prickly pear. They consumed buffalo and cultivated crops after settling on the Brazos River, in addition to eating fish, clams, berries, pecans and prickly pear cactus.
Where were the Jumano located in Texas?
About 1,100 years ago, the Jumano (hoo MAH noh) lived near the Rio Grande, in the Mountains and Basins region of Texas. Historians call them the Pueblo Jumano because they lived in villages.
Where did the Jumano live?
Although they ranged over much of northern Mexico, New Mexico, and Texas, their most enduring territorial base was in central Texas between the lower Pecos River and the Colorado. The Jumanos were buffalo hunters and traders, and played an active role as middlemen between the Spanish colonies and various Indian tribes.
What region did the jumano tribe live in?
When did the jumanos come to Texas?
1691
To solidify this location, when the Jumano were encountered along the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau in 1691, they stated that their homeland was the “Rio Salado” or Pecos River. In sum, at least as late as 1691 the Jumano maintained their homeland between the Pecos and Concho rivers of Texas.
How did the jumanos travel?
The Plains Jumano certainly hunted buffalo and moved to follow the herds. The Plains Jumano probably lived in tee -pees like the other nomadic Southern Plains tribes did. Look on the Jumano map for the villages symbol to see a couple of places where Plains Jumano had villages.
What tools did the jumano tribe use?
In addition to bone, pre-contact Jumano used stone such as flint as well as wood to construct the majority of their tools. Everything from a hoe (for so-called “Pueblo” Jumano) to a bow and arrow were made of buffalo, wood, or stone. Metal workign was completely unknown among the Jumano before European contact.
Where did the Jumanos come from in the Great Plains?
By 1600 the Apaches had taken control of the trade at Pecos Pueblo, and they dominated a wide area east of that site. In the Tompiro region, farther south, the Jumano population was augmented by refugees from the war in the Plains.
When did the Jumano Indians get their name?
Jumano Indians. Between 1500 and 1700 the name Jumanos was used to identify at least three distinct peoples of the Southwest and South Plains.
What kind of trade did the Jumanos do?
Their routes followed and linked several river systems, including the Pecos, Canadian, Brazos, and Colorado of Texas. The Jumanos’ trade sphere expanded when they adopted an equestrian way of life, and it changed in character as they began to deal in horses.
What kind of houses did the Jumano Indians build?
Those living at more permanent rancherías built houses of reeds or sticks, while those in the pueblos of New Mexico had masonry houses. The Jumanos hunted with bow and arrow. Spaniards remarked on the strength of their “Turkish” bows (reinforced with sinew). In war, they used clubs, or cudgels, of hardwood.
