The Influence of Epidemics on the Indian Populations and Cultures of Texas

Historic records indicate that Indian tribes residing in Texas prior to 1820 suffered no fewer than 30 epidemics during the period of white contact prior to 1890. The cumulative effect of successive epidemics was a major factor in the extinction of some of these tribes, and in continued population decreases among the others. Most probably these epidemics also caused significant cultural changes among the Indians who survived them in such varied aspects of life as warfare, political and social organization, and religious beliefs and practices
