. . . . . "The Dressing Point massacre refers to the murder in 1826 of 40-50 Karankawa people in Mexican Texas near present-day Matagorda at the mouth of the Colorado River by Texian Militia. It was part of a pattern of colonist attacks against Native Americans in the area after the former began to encroach on native lands, and conflicts arose over use of the territory. Ultimately the Karankawa ceded their territory to the European Americans, and were dispersed to other areas, became day laborers, were forced into slavery, or killed. By 1860, no free Karankawa remained here."@en . . . . . . . . "7181"^^ . . "28.69099998474121"^^ . . . "POINT(-95.968002319336 28.690999984741)"^^ . . . . . . "-95.96800231933594"^^ . .
