Detailed explanation-1: -Sho-we-tat means “Little Boy” in Caddo. He was chief of the Caddo people in the mid-to-late 1800s. During the Civil War he led an all American Indian battalion for the Confederacy.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the top of Caddo society were religious and political leaders who held inherited positions. These positions were normally held by men, but a few female leaders are known from historic accounts and in some high-status prehistoric tombs the principal individuals appear to have been women.
Detailed explanation-3: -Traditional Caddo descent was matrilineal, and a hereditary upper group, marked by head flattening and other status symbols, directed political and religious activities.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Caddos people of Texas had a confederacy-style government, meaning that many tribes lived together in proximity and enjoyed good relations, electing members to an eight-person council to make decisions.
