The Coahuiltecan Indians lived a difficult life. They lived in southern Texas near Mexico. The region where they lived was deserted and had very few resources. Their diet consisted mainly of snakes, lizards, armadillos, prickly pear cactus, and javelinas.
The Coahuiltecans were nomads, meaning they traveled from place to place to find food and natural resources. They had very few tools and spent most of their time only surviving instead of spending time making pots, tools, and any other items that you may find the other Indian tribes making. Coahuiltecans traveled in bands. Bands were groups of people that lived together. There were hundreds of bands and each one had about 150 people.
Because their region did not have many resources, initially no one wanted their land. This caused them to be weak warriors. When other tribes eventually started to become interested in owning their land, the Coahuiltecans lost many battles. As a result, the Coahuiltecan tribe disappeared. Today there are no known members of this Native American tribe remaining.
