Caddo: A shortened form of the tribal
name Cadohadacho, referring to three main Native American tribal groups spread
along wide fertile prairies bordering the great bend in the Red River. The three
cultures are- the Cadohadacho and the Natchitoches along the Red River, and the
Hasinai along the banks of the upper Neches and Angelina Rivers in East Texas.
Each tribe within these three regional groupings had an individual identity and
was independently governed, but all had a common language, followed the same
social and religious customs, and shared traditions. Their direct descendants
are listed on the tribal roll of the Caddo Indian Tribe of Oklahoma in the
twentieth century. (From Caddo Indians: Where We Come From (1995 pg 4) by
Cecile Elkins Carter, Cultural Liason for the Caddo Tribes of Oklahoma.)
