The motto "friendship" of the U.S. state of Texas dates back to the time of early European explorers in Texas. When travelling through Texas, they were greeted by the American Indians yelling "Tejas!" a native word meaning friendship. The explorers mistakenly thought this was the name of the region and named the area Tejas, which later changed to Texas after the Texas Revolution.
