Welcome to Texas: It’s a big state and some big things have happened here.

As they say, there have been “six flags over Texas” because six nations have had control over some or all of what is now the state. However, the area now known as Texas was also ruled by Indigenous people who lived here for centuries. Learn how, in 1846, a group of 4,000 German immigrants led by Baron Otfried von Meusebach managed to carve out a treaty with the Penateka Comanche, which is still being honored today – the only pact between whites and Native Americans that was never broken.
