Honoring the Ancestors
I recently learned that Caddo blood may run through my family line. I want to take a moment to honor those who came before me, and to share the deep love and respect I hold for all Native American people — and especially the Caddo people.

About the Caddo People
Taysha — Friend
The name “Texas” comes from the Caddo word taysha, meaning friend or ally. A whole state carries a Caddo word of friendship.
Builders of Great Mounds
For over a thousand years, Caddo ancestors built ceremonial mound centers across today's Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
Master Potters
Caddo pottery is celebrated for its elegant engraved designs — an art passed down through generations and still practiced today.
A Living Nation
The Caddo Nation continues today, headquartered in Binger, Oklahoma, keeping its language, dances, and traditions alive.
A Dedication to My Ancestors
They are my ancestors.
This cover of The Caddo Indians of Louisiana carries a painting of the Green Corn Ceremony by Al Godoy, imagining a Caddo community around the year 1000 — a harvest of thanksgiving, renewal, and forgiveness. I keep it here as a dedication to every ancestor who walked this land before me.
The Mound Centers
Ceremonial earthen mounds raised across the pine woods of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
Engraved Pottery
Burnished vessels carved with flowing scrolls — an art still carried on by Caddo potters today.
Grass Houses
Tall thatched homes woven over cedar frames, built by families working side by side.
