While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
C- Arkansas Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Cachaymon. A village or tribe, possibly Caddoan,
mentioned by Iberville (Margry, Dec., iv, 178, 1880), in the account of
his voyage up the Mississippi in 1699, as being on or near Red r. of Louisiana.
Possibly identical with Cahinnio.
Casqui. An unidentified province and town, probably on
lower St Francis r., E. Ark., visited by De Soto s army immediately after
crossing the Mississippi in 1541. It is possibly cognate with Akanze,
a name for the
Quapaw.
Catamaya. A town w. of the Mississippi r., visited by
the De Soto expedition in 1542 and mentioned as two days journey from Anoixi,
perhaps ins. w. Arkansas. Gentl. of Elvas (1557) in French, Hist. Coll. La.,
n, 182, 1850.
Cayas. A tribe visited by the De Soto expedition in
1542, apparently in w. Arkansas. Schoolcraft's identification of the name with
Kansa is of very doubtful value.
Chaguate. A village, probably belonging to a division
of a southern Caddoan tribe, formerly situated in the region of Washita r.,
Ark.; visited by Moscoso and his troops in the summer of 1542. See Gentleman of
Elvas (1557) in French, Hist, Coll. La., n, 193, 1850.
Chavite. A province w. of the Mississippi and near
Washita r., Ark., which probably took its name from a tribe of the southern
Caddoan group. De Soto's troops passed through this country during the summer of
1542, and found the people making salt. See Biedma (1544) in French, Hist.
Coll. La., ii, 107, 1850.
