Roles in the Tribe
Jumanos were farmers but often had trouble keeping crops and animals alive. Jumanos actually often starved. Any food they could manage to scrape up was equally divided between people within the house. Because of the famine spreading through the tribe many people left to join other tribes making even closer to present Jumano tribe.

Relationships
Most Jumanos were equal. They did have a chief but they could easily change each week. The Jumanos generally had the star of the week in control. Their army was controlled by the person who got the few people together. The Jumanos would battle each other for power. They did not have a stable social structure but the one they had lead to few survivors. Most of the Jumanos died off because of the Spanish who brought diseases to Texas. The other Jumanos were shot for fun like a game by many new comers to Texas.
