Detailed explanation-1: -Since they lived so close to water, such as bay, lagoons, and gulfs, one of their main sources of transportation was the canoe. The Karankawas adapted to their environment by using the water to their advantage. The only other way they got around was foot.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Karankawas’ principal means of transportation was the dugout canoe, a watercraft made by hollowing out the trunk of a large tree. Those dugouts, unsuited for deep, open water, were used primarily in the relatively shallow waters between the islands and the mainland.
Detailed explanation-3: -Short Answer: The most important food sources for the Karankawaswere scallops, oysters, buffalo, deer, various plants like cattail and dewberries, and fish like red and black drum, trout, and sheepshead. Long Answer: What the Karankawa ate varied depending on the season.
Detailed explanation-4: -What is an example of Texans adapting to their environment in the dry and hot regions of Texas? People built adobe houses because there were few or no trees. Families built log cabins using the many trees found on the plains.
