Miles s New Braunfels
The Blackland Prairies, sometimes referred to as the "heart of Texas," extend from just
south of the Red River south to San Antonio. Dallas, Waco, Austin and San Antonio are
all found on the western margins of the Blackland Prairie. Most of the region is underlain
by white chalk/limestone material which tends to weather into a thin, black, sticky-when-
wet, extremely mineral-rich and fertile soil. While a veritable gumbo when wet, when dry
the soils become very hard and can develop cracks that often exceed a foot or more in
depth. The terrain tends to be level to very gently rolling. Most of the region lies
between 400 and 600 feet elevation. While a number of large streams cross the
Blackland, small streams are not common as there are few springs to be found in the
area.

Blackland Prairie Soils
The Blackland Prairies consist of about 12.6 million acres of east-central Texas extending
southwesterly from the Red River to 8exor County. There are annaUor areas to the southeast.
The landscape io undulating with few scattered wooded areas that are mostly inthe
bottonl|ands. Surface drainage io moderate torapid.
Both upland and bottom|and soils are deep, dark-gray to black alkaline clays. Some soils in the
western part are shallow to moderately deep over chalk. Some soils onthe eastern edge are
neutral to slightly acid, grayish clays and loams over mottled clay subsoils (sometimes called
gnay|anda). B|aoWand soils are known as "cracking c|aya" because of the |arge, deep crooks that
form in dry weather. This high shrink-swell property can cause serious damage to foundations,
highvvoys, and other structures and is a safety hazard in pits and trenches.
Land use is divided about equally between cropland and grassland. Cotton, grain sorghums,
corn, wheat, oats, and hay are grown. Grassland is mostly improved pastures, with native range
on the shallower and steeper soils. Water erosion, cotton root rot, soil d|th, and brush control are
them jormanagementprob|ama.

Blackland Prairie Animals
The prairie was formerly home to animals such as American bison, wolves, and jaguars
before overhunting and the destruction of most tallgrass ecosystems.

Blackland Prairie Tribes
Hunter-gatherers contributed to the formation and expansion of the prairie through
controlled burns to make more land suitable for hunting bison and other game. Hunter-
gatherers continually inhabited the prairie since pre-Clovis times over 15,000 years ago.
In historic times, they included the Wichita, Waco, Tonkawa, and Comanche [tribes],
each of whom were gradually replaced by settled agrarian society.

The Wichita are Native Americans of the United States who speak Wichita, a Caddoan
language. They were known as the "Tattooed Faces" or "Raccoon-eyed" people because
of the tattoos encircling their eyes. The Wichita formed a loose confederation on the
Southern Plains, including the Wichita tribe proper and several independent bands, such
as the Tawakonis, Kichais, and Wacos. They were most populous in the Southwestern
United States where they ranged as far south as San Antonio, Texas,to as far north as
Great Bend, Kansas. They occupied northern Texas in the early 1700s and were involved
in trade with other Southern Plains Indians on both sides of the Red River and as far
south as Waco.

The Waco Indians were a band of the Wichita culture. Hueco is another spelling of Waco. Most of
them lived in a large village on the Brazos river where present day Waco is. Jean Berlandier says
they had about 60 permanent houses at this time (about 1830). He reports they would live in the
houses during the spring and summer and tend crops in nearby fields.

Tonkawa Tribe:

Their wanderings followed the path of the buffalo, their main source of food, all over central
Texas (Newcomb 196). The Tonkawas hunted these animals with spears and arrows and by
driving herds over cliffs, such as Tonkawa Bluff, near Georgetown. Like many Native
Americans, they used the buffalo for food, clothing, tools and decoration (Scarbrough 26). |nG
letter tV the Barron deRipperd8. the governor of Texas, dated July 4' 1772. Ath@D8S8de
K8ezi8r8SvvrOte:
"in truth, one cannot exaggerate the inestimate benefits for which these natives are indebted to
divine providence. The buffalo alone, besides its flesh, which takes first place among healthful
and savory meats, supplies them liberally with what ever they desire in the way of
conveniences, The brain they use tU soften skins; the horns for spoons and drinking vessels;
the shoulder bones to dig and clear off the land; the tendons for thread and for bow strings; the
hoof, @S glue for arrows; with the mane they make ropes and girths; from the wool...belts, and
various ornaments. The skin furnishes h8rDeS5BS'...shields, tents, shirts, leggings, shoes, and
blankets for protection against the cold—truly valuable treasures, easily GCqUip8d, quietly
possessed and lightly missed, which liberally supply an infinite number of people, whom we
consider poverty-stricken with an excess of those necessities which perpetuate our struggles,
anxieties, and discords."

North American Indian tribe of equestrian nomads whose 18th- and 19th-century
territory comprised the southern Great Plains. The name Comanche is derived from a
Ute word meaning "anyone who wants to fight me all the time."
The Comanche were one of the first tribes to acquire horses from the Spanish and one
of the few to breed them to any extent. They also fought battles on horseback, a skill
unknown among other Indian peoples. Highly skilled Comanche horsemen set the
pattern of nomadic equestrian life that became characteristic of the Plains tribes in the
18th and 19th centuries. Comanche raids for material goods, horses, and captives
carried them as far south as Durango in present-day Mexico.

A. Discussion Regarding the 2019 Wylie Arts Festival Vendor Survey
(C. Ehrlich, Public Arts Advisory Board Coordinator)
Executive Summary
The board and staff discussed the survey that was sent to 2019 vendor participants regarding the Wylie Arts
Festival. Public Arts Coordinator Ehrlich reported that the responses were very favorable. In particular the
event was praised for the assistance the vendors received in loading and unloading their merchandise by
ROTC East students. There were also positive comments regarding the foot traffic and good sales. One
negative that was brought to the attention of the board was the annoyance by sponsors leaving their booths
and following visitors to sell their products. The board felt a kind comment to those sponsors to stay in
their booths might be appropriate.
