Tonkawa Indigenous participants: meaning of band

Correction or qualification · high confidence

What 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.
