Palaquechare

The Palaquechare lived in central Texas between the Colorado and Brazos rivers, southwest of the Hasinai communities. They hunted bison and cultivated maize and beans, combining the resources of the prairie with crops grown near their villages. Henri Joutel met them in 1687 during the La Salle expedition. Their speech reminded the French visitors of the Hasinai language, and the Palaquechare were reported to live in ten villages in the surrounding country.
