The Baguam people (also Bagnam, Pagaiam,[1] Baguame, Bagname, Pagaiame[2]) were a Native American people in the region of present-day Texas.[1]
The Baguam lived on the Edwards Plateau, and were associated with the Bobole and Sana tribes.[3]
In 1675, a group of Baguam travelled to Monclova to meet with Antonio Balcarcel, alcalde mayor of Coahuila.[3] The last record of the Baguam is a 1684 document by Juan Domínguez de Mendoza,[1] who encountered them at a trading fair near present-day Ballinger, Texas.[4]
