Long before the White Man started to live
in the North American continent
Native Americans with many tribes
settled, traveled and hunted
About 8000 b.c. native American tribes
were roaming in Texas.
|
Today we know about the Jumano Indians, the Pueblo Indians and Apache tribes in the Texas area.
At least 1000 years ago Apache tribes arrived in the South West. The Navajo people, who were the most numerous of the 7 major Apachean groups, was one of the bigger groups. Later the Comanches moved down from Wyoming, building a separate tribe out of the Shoshone Indians. In the early 1700s Comanches were seen in the Texas panhandle and in New Mexico.  Comanche and Lipan Apache were hunting in the area of Bear Springs Blossom Nature Preserve, camping along the Bear Springs Creek, hunting deer, birds, bear, buffalo and mountain lion. |
Look at the difference of all these arrowheads
Imagine how long it took to make them
And how difficult and dangerous it was
to hunt with these ancient hunting tools!
Can YOU tell us more about these arrowheads?
Please help us gaining more knowledge
and a better understanding!
We were told that this tiny arrow head was used for bird hunting
This was not used on an arrow, but on a long wooden stick
to hunt big animals.
This is a photo of our pondat the Bear Springs Blossom Nature Preserve.
Creeks and springs were always a meeting point for native people.
Food could be hunted here, fish and white tail deer
buffalo, bear and coyote.
We know that once the Bear Springs Creek was filling this pond, and native
Americans have gotten their water at the spring, smoking the peace pipe
giving Pipe Creek its today's name?

Lets have a Quiz about life in the water: What do you think? What is the full name of e coli? Escherichia coli was named after Theodor Escherich, born in the Kingdom of Bavaria discovered this bacterium in 1885  Escherichia coli Some types of e coli can cause serious food poisoning in humans. Ecoli gets in the water by fecal contamination, from humans or mammals or birds. What do you think? In some rivers and ponds is an extraordinary growth of algae - Why? The word Eutrophication is describing the over-fertilization of lakes, rivers, ponds. Negative environmental effects are anoxia, what means loss of oxygen. Fish and other water-life will die. The reason is mostly untreated sewage effluent, agricultural run-off with fertilizers. |
