Tonkawa Indigenous participants: meaning of band
Correction or qualification · high confidenceWhat the evidence supports
The 1900 article separately describes a group of Tonkawa Indigenous people scheduled to give dances and other demonstrations. The word band here does not establish a named instrumental ensemble.
Limits and open questions
Retain as event context and an interpretation question; no concert-band or separate music-group record inferred. Distinguish this group from the musical Tonkawa band in the preceding sentence.
Confidence detail: high. Evidence notes are not a count of distinct ensembles.
