Amaye

Amaye was a Caddo province of the Red River country, whose people cultivated crops in settled communities. In 1542 the survivors of Hernando de Soto’s expedition, led by Luis de Moscoso, came into this country while seeking a route to Mexico. After their arrival, warriors of Amaye joined people from Hacanac and Naguatex in an attack on the intruders. The Spaniards continued toward the settlements of Naguatex on the Red River.
