Caddoan Culture

The Caddoan Culture was a Native American civilization that thrived in the southeastern United States, particularly in present-day Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas, from around 500 to 1700 CE. They built advanced mound sites for ceremonies, government, and burials, and developed a complex society with skilled farming, pottery, and trade networks. The Caddoan people were organized into powerful chiefdoms, with distinctive art and social practices. Their legacy includes impressive earthworks and a rich cultural history that influenced the region and neighboring tribes.
