The Tunica again decide to move by…
1706 CE
The Tunica again decide to move by 1706.
With their enemies the Natchez to their immediate south, they decide to move even further, down to the Mississippi side of the Mississippi and Red River confluence, the next major river junction.
This move allows them to keep control of their salt trade, as the Red River also connected to their salt source in the Caddoan areas.
They establish a loose collection of hamlets and villages at their new home in present-day Angola, Louisiana (the later site of the Louisiana State Penitentiary).
An inmate of Angola in 1976 will discover the remains of a small hamlet at this site.
The archaeological site is now known as the Bloodhound Site.
