MELENUDO INDIANS
MELENUDO INDIANS. The Melenudo Indians, known only from the middle eighteenth century, appear to have been a band of Lipan Apache Indians. They were reported as enemies of the Hasinai Caddos and the Yojuane Indians, a Tonkawan tribe. One source indicates that the Melenudos were neighbors of the Yojuanes. This suggests that the Melenudo Indians were ranging an area west or southwest of present Waco.
