The Jumano tribe were called the Puebloan indians and 

they were semi-stationary. The Jumano were farmers and 

very skilled buffalo hunters. The Jumanos also traded with 

the Spanish colonies. The region was very dry, but they 

still grew crops. Some of the Jumano became nomads and 

provided meat for the Jumano that lived near the Rio 

Grande. The Jumano had the biggest trade center. This is 

the basic infomation of the Jumano tribe. 

The Jumano were not just farmers. Every single day 

something different happens in each part of the Jumano 

tribe. The ferocious hunters in the plains also known as the 

Jumano's top class hunters. The hardworking farmers 

supply crops to the tribe and the Spanish settlers. The 

women in the tribe make jewelery and they are experts in 

pottery. The farmers harvest a large variety of crops and 

the hunters provide for the tribe. The women learn to 

create beautiful pottery and jewelery. The traders from the 

Jumano trade crops and meat for horses and many other 

items to extend their trade. This is how the Jumano lived 

everything.  

The Jumano lived during the 1500's and 

the 1700's. They lived during the period 

when Spanish explorers were discovering 

Mexico and Texas. 

The Jumano were referred as rayado(striped), because 

their faces were painted in stripes. Sometimes they were 

called naked, because most of their body parts were 

showing. The Jumano also wore snake skin belts. The 

women had long hair tied up, skirts, and sleeveless tunics. 

The men had short hair with colorful feathers. They also 

wore other small garments like shoes or necklaces. They 

also tattooed themselves for religious purposes. They also 

wore animal hides(cloaks). This how the Jumano

might of looked like.

The Jumano either had pueblo or teepee. The Jumano 

lived in large houses made from adobe bricks. Some of 

the large houses could hold up to 30 to 40 people! The 

adobe house were painted with black, red, white, and 

yellow stripes. The Jumanos had flat roofs to keep cool 

from the extreme heat in the mountains and basins 

region. A small handful of the Jumano were hunters and 

nomads that supplied meat to the other Jumanos. Their 

tepees were made from animal hides. These descriptions 

may fit how the Jumano's houses looked like.
