About
Dr. Andrew Torget discusses how Native American tribes, such as the Shawnee, Delaware, and Cherokee, played a significant yet often overlooked role during the Texas Revolution, negotiating with both Texans and the Mexican government in hopes of securing land rights. Despite these efforts, the newly formed Republic of Texas ultimately rejected treaties and denied land titles, leading to increased conflict and displacement of Native tribes as settlers moved into Texas.
