Muruam

The Muruam were an Indigenous people whose name appears in the mission records of the Rio Grande and San Antonio. In 1707 they were recorded at San Francisco Solano, near a crossing of the Rio Grande. Later, between 1721 and 1775, substantial numbers lived at the mission of San Antonio de Valero. Their movements link the river country of northern Coahuila with the settlements and missions farther northeast, where many distinct Indigenous communities came together under Spanish rule.
