The Tonkawas struck me as being primarily opportunistic since they did serve the Texians well in fighting Comanches, but Wilbarger mentions raids on the settlements by Tonks that were blamed on other tribes.
They were not well treated at their reservation here in Young County, and weren't well received by the other tribes when they were removed to Oklahoma.
I reckon if you eat a feller, it's not a good idea to settle next to his kinfolk.
