Tayshas Reading List 2005-2006

"Tayshas" takes its name from the Caddo Indian word meaning "friends or allies". Written texas, texios, tejas, teyas, or tayshas , the word was applied to the Caddos by the Spanish in eastern Texas, who regarded them as friends and allies against the Apaches. (Newcomb, W.W., Jr. The Indians from Texas: Prehistoric to Modern Times. University of Texas Press, 1961.)

The objectives of the Tayshas project are to motivate young adults to read more and to enjoy opportunities to become a community of readers in Texas.
