1. Atakapa

   The Atakapa or Atacapa were an indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands, who spoke the Atakapa language and historically lived along the Gulf of Mexico in what is now Texas and Louisiana. They included several distinct bands. Choctaw people used the term Atakapa, which was adopted by European settlers adopted the term. The Atakapa called themselves the Ishak , which translates as "the people."Within the Ishak there were two moieties which the Ishak identified as "The Sunrise People" and "The Sunset People".After 1762, when Louisiana was transferred to Spain following French defeat in the Seven Years' War, little was written about the Atakapa as a people. Due to a high rate of deaths from infectious epidemics of the late 18th century, they ceased to function as a people. Survivors generally joined the Caddo, Koasati, and other neighboring nations, although they kept some traditions. Some culturally distinct Atakapan descendants survived into the early 20th century.

1. atakapa

   The Atakapa are a Native American tribe historically residing in the areas of the Gulf of Mexico, specifically along the shores of Texas and Louisiana. They were recognized for their hunting and fishing skills. The tribe received its name, which translates to "cannibal people," from neighboring tribes due to alleged cannibalistic rituals. However, most of their culture, language, and history were lost due to the European colonization in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the descendants work to remember and revive their heritage.
