Comparing and Contrasting culture
The cultures of American Indians in Texas prior to European colonization are slightly different. Each group wore pretty much the same thing (buffalo hide), but they had different things to like the way they got their food. The pueblonians and plains both got their food from farming, but the gulf coast group got their food by fishing, and the southeastern group hunted. They had different housing (teepees, grass huts, wood framed homes, and adobes).
