Memorial Marker CADDO NATION ANCESTORS

Edwards (aka Colonial Hill) Cemetery
Titus County,
Texas

Burial August 26, 2008

The people known today as the Caddo once occupied a region that included parts of present Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas as early as A D 800. By the 16th century, the Caddo developed Complex Hierarchical societies with civic and ceremonial centers as well as advanced agricultural practices. Rapid population decline in the Caddo nation came from the exposure to old world diseases, the arrival of other Native American groups of the eastern United States, and Anglo - American settlement in Texas. By the late 1850's the Caddo were forced to relocate to Indian Territory (present Oklahoma) today, the Caddo Nation Headquarters is in Binger, Oklahoma where members of the tribe maintain cultural traditions through pottery, song, dance and language.
