Tawakoni

The Tawakoni were a Wichita-related people who lived in villages in the region of present-day Oklahoma and Texas. In 1719 the French explorer La Harpe visited a Tawakoni village and negotiated peace with its people and their neighbours.

Conflict with the Osage drove the Tawakoni south into Texas, where they allied with the Waco. In 1772 Chief Quiscat sought peace with the Spanish at San Antonio, without lasting success. In 1835 they signed a treaty with the United States at Camp Holmes.
