TEANAME INDIANS. The Teaname (Teana, Peana) Indians were one of
numerous Coahuiltecan bands of the late seventeenth and early
eighteenth centuries that lived in northeastern Coahuila but
also ranged north of the Rio Grande, particularly in the
southwestern part of the Edwards Plateau (Kinney County and
vicinity). In 1708 they were mentioned in the records of San
Juan Bautista Mission near the site of present Eagle Pass. Later
some of the Teanames seem to have been at San Antonio de Valero
Mission in San Antonio, where they were known as Peana Indians.
The Anna Indians, reported in the early eighteenth century as
living somewhere in southern Texas, may be the Teanames under
another name. Vito Alessio Robles, Coahuila y Texas en la época
