Hainai

The Hainai (Caddo: Háynay^[1]) were a Native American tribe that lived in what is now east Texas.

The Hainai (also sometimes called Aynais, Aynay, Ainai, Ioni, Huawni and Ayonai) were the leading group in the

Caddo Nation

Today, the Hainai Caddo descendants are enrolled citizens of the

Caddo Nation of Oklahoma with its headquarters in Binger, Oklahoma. The Mount Tabor Indian Community is currently recognized by the State of Texas and not the federal government with its headquarters in Kilgore, Texas
