Jumano Tribes |
Ethnie: HUMANO TRUBES (SUMA, SHUMAN)
|
| The Jumano were no more than an identity, failing to be a single tribe, language group, or culture. The data presented herein is quite disputable. They followed the fortunes of the various cultures to which they attached or identified. Some Jumano Pueblos survived in Mexico while some surely absorbed into other U. S. Pueblo cultures. The Plains Jumano have ancestors today among the Wichita and Kiowa in Oklahoma. Some Jumano Apache absorbed into others Apachean tribes while other have maintained their cultural identity in Texas. |
