Native American Tribes series.
Tiou
The Tiou, a small, little known tribe of Tunican linguistic stock, were placed on the Yazoo River below the Ibitoupa, but above the Tunica, Yazoo, and Koroa, at a place 25 leagues from the Mississippi, according to Tonti. Supposedly vanquished by the Chickasaw, many moved down to the Natchez area around 1682 and subsequently became part of the Natchez tribe from then on, with a village of their own near the Natchez. Charlevoix stated that they were destroyed by the Quapaw in 1731, an unsubstantiated statement, but were not heard of again after that. Charlevoix’s map calls the Big Black the “River of the Tioux” and Ross’s map gives their name to the Homochitto River. The population of the Tiou, included with 3 other tribes, were estimated to be from 1,000 to 1,200 in 1650.

05/12/2017 By Death from Below This one hasn't been found for awhile, cache and log in good shape. Thanks for the hide.
11/15/2015 By benji55545 Enjoyed the little bit of history, even though I understood maybe 5% of the proper nouns used in the cache description. Rode my bike in and out, though I was wishing I had a Jeep after finding myself down here in the snow. Oops. Enjoyed the last bits of sunlight from this location before making my way back to the Sugarloaf parking lot in the dark.
09/14/2015 By Bhob I went for a nice drive today, mostly on the Switzerland trail road - this was the third of eleven geocaches that I found along the way. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !
