C- Louisiana Indian Villages, Towns and Settlements

                                <p>A complete listing of all the Indian villages,  towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.</p> <p>Caiasban. An unidentified village or tribe mentioned in  1687 to Joutel (<i>Margry, Dec., in, 409, 1878</i>), while he was staying with  the Kadohadacho on Red r., of Louisiana, by the chief of that tribe as being  among his enemies.</p> <p>Caitsodammo. An unidentified village or tribe mentioned  to Joutel in 1687 (<i>Margry, Dec., in, 409, 1878</i>), while he was staying  with the Kadohadacho on Red r. of Louisiana, by the chief of that tribe as being  among his enemies.</p> <p>Campti. A village, probably of the Natchitoches,  formerly on Red r. of Louisiana, about 20 m. above Natchitoches. In his report  to President Jefferson in 1805, Sibley (<i>Hist. Sketches, 1806</i>) says the  town was inhabited by the French, the Indians having left it on account of  sickness in 1792. (A. C. F. )</p> <p>Capiche. A village, probably of one of the southern  Caddoan tribes, near Red r. of Louisiana, "20 leagues inland from the  Mississippi," visited by Tonti in 1690.</p> <p>Catouinayos. An unidentified village or tribe mentioned  to Joutel in 1687 (Margry, <i>Dec., in, 409, 1878</i>), while he was staying  with the Kadohadacho on Red r. of Louisiana, by the chief of that tribe as being  among his enemies.</p> <p>Chactoo. A body of Indians, possibly related to the <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/attacapa-tribe.htm"> Attacapa</a>, mentioned in 1753 as living in Louisiana. In 1805 they were on  Bayou Boeuf, about 10 m. s. of Bayou Rapide, toward Opelousas, and numbered 30  men. They were not Choctaw, and in addition to their own tongue they spoke the  Mobilian trade language. (A. s. G.) </p> <p>Chaquantie. A tribe, probably affiliated with the Caddo  confederacy, living on a N. branch of Red r. of Louisiana in the 17th century.  They were met by Bienville, in 1700 (<i>Margry, Dec., iv, 42, 1880</i>), about 4  days journey above the Kadohadacho, who dwelt on the main stream. The people  were said to be at peace with the Hainai. (A. C. F.) </p> <p>Choupetoulas. A village formerly on the left bank of  the Mississippi, 2 or 3 leagues above New Orleans; spoken of by P&eacute;nicaut in 1718  as old and apparently abandoned. The name of the people, who were possibly of  Choctaw affinity, is perpetuated in that of a street in New Orleans. (A. S. G.)</p> <p>Choye. A village, mentioned by Tonti (<i>French, Hist.  Coll. La., i, 72, 1846</i>) in 1690, as near the settlements of the Yatasi on  Red r., in the N. w. part of what is now Louisiana. The people were said to be  hostile to the Kadohadacho, perhaps some passing quarrel. From its association  with the Yatasi and Natasi, the village was probably inhabited by a subdivision  of one of the Caddo tribes. The subsequent history of the settlement is not  known; its inhabitants were probably scattered among their kindred during the  contentions of the 18th century, later becoming extinct. (A. C.
