The Tonkawa Indians

The Tonkawa Indians were nomadic people, which means they moved a lot from one place to another. They ate mostly buffalo and some fish. The Tonkawas lived in tepees made out of brush and grass.

Male Tonkawas mostly wore loincloths or leggings and skin shirts. Girls wore buffalo skin robes, but clothing was worn only to protect themselves from the cold weather.
