Nadaco

The Nadaco Tribe, whose location was uncertain until 1787, was associated closely with the Nasoni, often regarded as one entity. In 1716, they were documented near the Nasoni, leading to the establishment of the San Jose mission for both tribes. French accounts sometimes referred to this mission as pertaining to the Nadaco. By 1752, the two tribes were governed by a single chief, suggesting their settlements were contiguous. The Nadaco’s early territory may have been near present-day Anadarko Creek, reflecting their historical presence in the region.
