Karankawa Kadla Request Help for Removing Historical Markers
<p>The Karankawa Kadla tribe have found two historical markers that note their tribe’s extinction, and are working to have these signs removed since they are incorrect. While violent colonialism did annihilate the Karankawa’s population and as a result many had to hide their culture for centuries, the people are not extinct and request help in getting these markers removed.</p>
<p>“Growing up I tried to find history of my people, and at every turn I read that we are extinct,” Chiara Sunshine Beaumont, Karankawa Kadla, Hawk Clan, said in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/karankawachicharra/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">her Instagram stories</a>. “We are right here.”</p>
<p>Karankawa Kadla do not have tribal lands, treaties, or an official recognition from the state or federal government and this lack of recognition is exacerbated by the narrative that they no longer exist.</p>
