Native American Tribes series.
Kaskinampo  

 The meaning of their name is unknown, though -nampo may be the Koasati word for "many." The Kaskinampo were probably closely related to the Koasati, and through them to the Alabama, Choctaw, and other Muskhogean people. Their best-known historic location was on the lower end of an island in the Tennessee River, probably the one now called Pine Island.

There is every reason to believe that this tribe constituted the Casqui, Icasqui, or Casquin "province" which De Soto entered immediately after crossing the Mississippi River, and it was probably in what is now Phillips County, Ark. We hear of the Kaskinampo next in connection with the expeditions of Marquette and Joliet but do not learn of their exact location until 1701, when they seem to have been on the lower end of the present Pine Island. We are informed, however, by one of the French explorers that they had previously lived upon Cumberland River, and there is evidence that, when they first moved to the Tennessee, they may have settled for a short time near its mouth. Both the Cumberland and the Tennessee were known by their name, and it stuck persistently to the latter stream until well along in the eighteenth century. After the early years of the eighteenth century we hear little more of them, but there is reason to believe that they united with the Koasati.

Out caching in the area on a cold day, visiting from San Jose. This was day 2 of my two week adventure, spent the day caching around the Denver area. This was a quick find with nobody around. Nice hide! TN/LN/SL. Thanks for the cache!
