The Texas Frontier Heritage & Cultural Center™ presents:

Indian Life on the Texas Plains


Comanche Indians by George Catlin

Comanches and Tonkawas and Kiowas and Apaches and Conchos... Many groups of Native Americans shared the Texas real estate before it was Texas. Now, Zoe Kirkpatrick will tell you what life was like on the Texas plains before the coming of the White Man (or even afterword). Some of you will remember Kirkpatrick from her earlier Chautauqua lecture on Western wildflowers; you probably didn’t realize that she’s just as knowledgeable on fauna as she is on flora!

ONE OF MANY LOCAL EVENTS OF

Our ongoing Chautauqua Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua movement which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment for average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television. The Texas Frontier Heritage & Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic Village.

The Grady McWhiney Research Foundation would like to say Thank You to our honored supporters for helping us make the Chautauqua experience available to our community: The Dian Graves Owen Foundation, Judd White ~ CBS Insurance LLP, and Red Steagall.
