Tangipahoa Indians
The Tangipahoa Indians were a small tribe of Louisiana, relatives of the
Acolapissa Indians.
They were also sometimes known as the Tandgepao or Tangipao.
Their language was poorly attested, but was probably a Muskogean language like
Choctaw and Chickasaw. The Tangipahoa village was destroyed in the 17th century,
and any survivors probably merged into the Acolapissa and Houma tribes, who
later joined the Choctaws.
