Caddo culture

The Caddo culture refers to the traditions and practices of the Caddo people, an Indigenous group originally from the southeastern United States, particularly in present-day Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. They were known for their mound-building, agriculture, and trade networks. Caddo society was organized into chiefdoms with rich spiritual beliefs, arts, and pottery. They cultivated crops like maize, beans, and squash, and their social structure was matrilineal, with lineage traced through women. The Caddo remain a vibrant community today, preserving their heritage and contributing to the cultural diversity of the region.
