THESE FOLKS WERE PART OF THE CADDO CONFEDERACY. BY 1687 A FRENCH EXPLORER SAW THEM AT RED RIVER IN SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. THEY WERE POSSIBLY MORE ALLIED TO THEIR NORTHERN TRIBE THAN TO THE OTHER SOUTHERN TRIBES. FRENCH EXPLORER HENRI JOUTEL TRAVELED WITH LA SALLE AND THE CAHINNIO PRESENTED THEM WITH TWO LOAVES OF CORN BREAD.
BY THE 1700'S THEY MOVED NORTHWEST TO HAVE NEW SOURCEES OF SALT AND HORSES. THEY SETTLED ALONG THE SOUTHERN BANKS OF THE OUCCHITA RIVER AND SIGNED A PEACE TREAY WITH THE FRENCH. BY 1763 THEY WERE ON THE UPPER ARKANSAS RIVER NEAR THERE OLD ALLIES. THE MENTOS. BY THE 18TH CENTURY THEY WERE EXTINCT AS A TRIBE.
