TheDeadose were aNative American tribe in present-dayTexas closely associated with theJumano,Yojuane,Bidai and other groups living in theRancheria Grande of theBrazos River in eastern Texas in the early 18th century.

Like other groups in the Rancheria Grande, the Deadose moved to theSan Gabriel River missions in the 1740s. The Deadose were along with the Yojuane,Mayeye and Bidai those who requested the Franciscan missionaries to come and set up missions for them.^[1] However many of the Deadose as well as the Bidai andAkokisa only went to the vicinity of the missions to trade with the soldiers. They also had set up trade networks that extended to the French in Louisiana.^[2] In 1750 the Deadose and their Bidai andAkokisa associates atMission San Ildefonso left in an alliance withAis,Hasinai,Kadohadachos,Nabedaches,Yojuanes,Tawakonis,Yatasis,Kichais,Naconis andTonkawas to attack theApache. The Deadose did not come back to the mission until 1752.^[3]

At the mission, the Deadose intermarried heavily with the Akokisa and Bidai.^[4]
