Acolapissa Indians
The Acolapissa Indians were a small tribe of Louisiana, relatives of the
Choctaw Indians.
Their language was poorly attested, but was probably a dialect of Choctaw.
The Acolapissas were originally politically distinct from the Choctaws, having
multiple villages and a substantial territory of their own, but they were devastated
by disease in the 1700's and merged into the Choctaw and Houma nations, where most of their
descendants live today.
