Napochi Indians
The Napochi tribe, possibly linked to the Choctaw Napissa meaning “those who see,” belonged to the southern Muskhogean division, residing near the Black Warrior River. They are first mentioned in a 1559 colonization attempt by Don Tristan de Luna, during which they were said to have been subdued. Post-encounter, their fate remains unclear, although their name persisted among the Creeks and may be connected to later tribes. Their notable distinction lies in a potential association with the mounds at Moundville, Alabama.
