The ancestors of the Caddo Indians were agriculturalists whose distinctive way of life and material culture emerged by A.D. 900, as seen in archaeological sites in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma.   In 1542, de Soto's expedition   encountered thriving Caddo communities along the Brazos, Trinity, Neches, Sabine, Red, and Ouachita rivers.   Twenty-first century Caddos have renewed their efforts to revitalize the economic, social, political, and religious institutions that preserve their heritage.
