= Place Where the Karankawas Lived = The Karankawas lived on the coast between Galveston Bay and Corpus Christi Bay. They lived around the bays and lagoons of the coast mostly in winter. The Karankawas lived here mostly in winter because during this time, there was a rich variety of wildlife living around and in the bays and lagoons. During the winter, the Karankawas seemed to always camp near the coast probably due to the fact that a rich variety of wildlife would prosper along the coast in winter. However in the summer, the Karankawas would move inland because the winter food would either be gone or harmful to eat. As other tribes or people would obseve the Karankawas, they saw that the Karankawas seemed to like certain places to camp, so year after year, the Karankawas would always camp at that certain campsite. The Karankawas also shared some land with the Tonkawas. The Karankawas lived near the Tonkawa and Coahuiltecan tribes.
