__Tigua Battles by Chasen__

The Tiguas were in many battles, but what started the most outbreak was the the fact that they supposedly lived near the Golden City Gran Quivira. They fought with bow and arrow and on foot before settlers came and brought guns and horses, then at that time they only used the guns for hunting smaller animals, for they were unhappy that it took them half a minute to reload while they could shoot more than 30 arrows a minute with enough force to go straight through a buffalo

For a while, the Apaches were their enemies, from the early 1880's to the late 1910's. They were very tactical in battle, they learned how to give a surprise attack and often swiftly raided indian villages during the night. Once they joined the Mexican Army, they became very powerful and could win battles with ease. this may of been the reason why they are the oldest native texan tribe there is. Once the settlers came in, they tried to take their land because they immediately thought it was theirs( they were really selfish) and they fought against them until they were finally beaten.
