Here are the teacher pack items for Native American Relations in the Republic of Texas:
Overview In this experience, students first review the names of Indian tribes that lived in Texas. Then they examine Sam Houston’s policy toward the Texas tribes. Next they analyze the effect of Mirabeau Lamar’s Indian policy on the Texas national debt. Finally they learn about the Texas Rangers and write a diary entry for one of these lawmen. If you have access to leveled readers about Sam Houston and the Cherokee, Mirabeau Lamar, or the Texas Rangers, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 35-45 minutes Vocabulary words: Objectives
As Texas settlements grew, they began to spread onto the lands of American Indian tribes. Conflicts arose. The tribes were willing to fight to keep the land. Many Texans wanted to remove the Indians from the Republic, even if it required military force to do so. In this lesson you will learn about the opposing approaches of the first two presidents of Texas towards the American Indians.

The tribes who spent a significant amount of time in the area today known as Texas include: Lipan Apache, Caddo, Jumano, Karankawa, Coahhuiltecan, Wichita, Tonkawa, and Comanche. The Jumanos lived in the disputed territory of the Texas borders. As students learned in an earlier unit, the Comanche arrived in Texas after the Europeans.
