| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Caddo Indians |
 | | The Caddo were a semi-sedentary and agricultural people, living in large, conical, communal, grass-thatched houses, and cultivating abundant crops of corn, beans, and pumpkins. |
 | | All but one of these (The Sun) were named from animals, and no Caddo would dare to kill the animal from which his clan derived its name. |
 | | French hostility accomplished the abandonment and destruction of the missions the next year, but in 1721 five of them were re-established, with a strong Spanish post on their eastern frontier to keep out the French. |
