Who were the Karankawa? Feared warriors, misunderstood coastal nomads, or victims of slanderous folklore? In this episode, inspired by Texas Monthly’s powerful article “We No Longer Have to Live in Secret” by Stephen Harrigan, we dive into the rich and turbulent history of the Karankawa people. From their seasonal migrations along the Texas Gulf Coast to violent encounters with Spanish colonists and Anglo settlers, their story is one of resilience, betrayal, and survival.We’ll explore the truth behind the cannibal myths, the devastating Skull Creek Massacre, and the tribe’s ultimate displacement. But their story doesn’t end there. Today, descendants are reclaiming their heritage and ensuring the Karankawa’s legacy is remembered in the 21st century. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and uncover the extraordinary tale of a people who refuse to be forgotten.
