The Ouachita are a Native American tribe from northeastern Louisiana along the Ouachita River.〔Sturtevant, 617〕 ==History== The Ouachita were loosely affiliated with the Caddo Confederacy.〔Sturtevant, 616〕 Their traditional homelands were the lower reaches of the Ouachita River〔Sturtevant, 630〕 and along the Black River.〔(Small Indian Tribal History. ) ''Access Genealogy''. (retrieved 9 Sept 2009)〕 Around 1690, the tribe is believed to have settled at Pargoud Landing near present-day Monroe, Louisiana.〔(The Caddo Indians of Louisiana. ) ''Louisiana Division of Archaeology.'' (retrieved 9 Sept 2009)〕 Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French-Canadian colonizer, encountered the Ouachita in 1700. He first met members of the tribe transporting salt to Taensa. Bienville traveled on to the principal Ouachita village, which he described as housing 70 people in five houses.〔 Ultimately, the Ouachita assimilated into the Natchitoches tribe by the 1720s.〔 Today's descendants are enrolled in the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. The Ouachita are known for their traditional practice of burying horses.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ouachita people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
