The Natchitoches (/ˈnækətɪʃ/ NAK-ə-tish; Caddo: Náshit'ush)[2] are a Native American tribe from northwestern Louisiana[1] and Texas. They organized themselves in one of the three Caddo-speaking confederacies along with the Hasinai (between the Sabine and Trinity rivers in eastern Texas), and Kadohadacho (at the borders of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana).
