Carrizo Comecrudo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Carrizo Comecrudo are an indigenous people of Texas and northeastern Mexico, along the Rio Grande delta.[1][2] The Spanish initially referred to them as the Carrizo, due to their practice of living in reed houses. Later, they were referred to by the Mexicans as the Comecrudo, for their practice of eating raw vegetables.[3] They are unrecognized by the federal government.[4] In 2019, members of the tribe organized a protest against the Trump Administration's policies toward migrants at the Mexico–United States border.[5]
