History
They Xarame likely originated in the
Edwards Plateau between the
Nueces River and the
Frio River . In 1699,
Spanish colonists established the
San Juan Bautista Mission in
Coahuila to convert Xarame and three other Coahuiltecan bands.
[1] After the Spanish established another mission near present-day
Eagle Pass, Texas , some Xarame moved there.
[1] Others moved to the
San Francisco Solano Mission founded in 1700 in Coahuila, Mexico.
[1]
The
San Antonio de Valero mission mentioned the Xarame as late as 1776.
