ANNAS INDIANS
ANNAS INDIANS. This name, reported by Pedro de Rivera in 1736, refers to a small band of Indians who lived somewhere in the southern part of Texas. It seems likely that the Annas are the same as the Teaname, a Coahuiltecan group of northeastern Coahuila and adjoining parts of Texas, who in missions were also known as Peana and Teana.
