About La Junta
La Junta Indians is a collective name for the various Indians living in the area known as La Junta de los Ríos on the borders of present-day West Texas and Northern Mexico. In 1535, Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca recorded visiting these peoples while making his way to a Spanish settlement. They cultivated crops in the river floodplains, as well as gathering local plants and catching fish from the rivers. They were part of an extensive trading network in the region. As a crossroads, the area attracted people of different tribes.
