Emet Indians

The Emet inhabited the Gulf Coastal Plain between the Guadalupe River (left) and the Colorado River.

The Emet (also spelled Emat, Emiti, and Ymette) were an indigenous peoples group in modern-day Texas. They primarily inhabited the Gulf Coastal Plain between the Colorado River and the Guadalupe River and cohabited with other groups, such as the Sana. They were first attested to by European explorers in the late 17th century and existed until at least the mid-18th century. They may have been related to the Karankawa or Tonkawa cultures, while Spanish explorers in the region reported that the tribes in the area spoke Caddoan and Spanish.
