There must have been more than one Atakapa tribe. I have a map
in a book on the Lipan Apaches, who lived in south central Texas,
by William W. Newcomb, Jr. (is or was an anthropologist at the
University of Texas) showing the "Atakapan Tribes" in the area
between the Brazos and Sabine rivers, north of Houston. Paula's
student might want to consult Newcomb's _The Indians of Texas,
from Prehistoric to Modern Times_. University of Texas Press, 1961.
