Kó'l kukä

The Kó’l kukä, or Prairie Men, were a Lipan Apache band whose range included the upper Colorado and Pecos river country. Spanish sources knew them as Llaneros, or plains people, in the late eighteenth century. They belonged to a wider network of Lipan bands that moved across the southern Plains and Texas hill country. Bison hunting and the use of horses linked their lives to the open grasslands and river valleys of the region.
