The Geier Indians or Geies [2] were an 18th-century group of Indigenous people in what became Mexico and the United States. Little is known about this group. [1]
In 1675, a Native group, recorded as the Papuliquier (a combination of the names Pacpul and Geier) visited a Spanish town of Monclova, Coahuila. [1]
The Franciscan priest Damián Massanet wrote that the Geier and five other Native groups had camped along the Frio River, near San Antonio in 1690. [1]
The Geier were last mentioned in 1708, while they were still living in the Frio River valley. [1] They did not join any of the Spanish missions. [1]
Damián Massanet reported that the Geier spoke the Coahuiltecan language. [1]
