Chozetta

The Paskagula and Moctobi tribes were documented by Iberville in 1699 as residing along the Pascagoula River in Mississippi, closely associated with the Biloxi tribe. Despite their small populations, they maintained distinct villages. The Paskagula, known as “bread people,” remain somewhat recognized among the Choctaw and Caddo, while the Moctobi’s existence is largely forgotten, possibly due to misrecording. By the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the Paskagula were still noted alongside the Biloxi and Caddo, suggesting they endured despite their diminished numbers. The Chozetta tribe was also mentioned but is less documented.
