The Sijame were an Indigenous people of the Americas of the San Antonio, Texas region.
[1] The name Sijame translates as "fish" and has also been written as Cijame, Hijame, Xixame, and Zihame.
In 1699, Spanish colonists founded San Juan Bautista Mission in Coahuila to convert four Coahuiltecan bands, including the Xarame.
[1] The Spanish established another mission near present-day Eagle Pass, Texas, and some Xarame moved there.
[1] The San Antonio de Valero mission mentioned the Xarame as last as 1776.
