This month we welcome back Robin Cole-Jett, a history professor from Lewisville, Texas, who researches 
the history of the Red River Valley, “History Where the South meets the West”. This month her program 
is “Caddos - A History of Red River Originals in Maps”:
For hundreds of years, people who became known to us as the Caddos lived, hunted, farmed, and worshipped 
in their ancestral home along the Red River and its tributaries. Once a nation with thousands of people, 
their population and power decline coincides, and is directly related to, their interactions with French 
and American colonizers. In this presentation, Robin Cole-Jett aka the Red River Historian, will explain 
the pre-history and the history of the "Red River Originals" using maps and artifacts.
