Digging Into the Past The Akokisa: Lifeways & Native Plants of Early Inhabitants of the Houston Area

Hosted by Houston Botanic Garden

Dan Worrall, Ph.D., author of A Prehistory of Houston and Southeast Texas: Landscape and Culture, will describe how the Akokisa, Native Americans who lived in the Houston area in the 18th & 19th centuries, adapted to conditions along the Gulf Coast. Following the lecture, Michael Godoy, education coordinator at Houston Botanic Garden, will lead attendees on a 30-minute tour of the Garden, highlighting plants the Akokisa used in their daily lives, as well as those used by neighboring tribes, such as the Caddo and Karankawa.
