Choye. A village, mentioned by Tonti 

 (French, Hist. Coll. La., i, 72, 1846) in 

 1690, as near the settlements of the Yatasi 

 on Red r. , in the n. w. part of what is 

 now Louisiana. The people were said to 

 be hostile to the Kadohadacho, perhaps 

 some passing quarrel. From its associa- 

 tion with the Yatasi and Natasi, the vil- 

 lage was probably inhabited by a sub- 

 division of one of the Caddo tribes. The 

 subsequent history of the settlement is not 

 known; its inhabitants were probably 

 scattered among their kindred during the 

 contentions of the 18th century, later 

 becoming extinct. (a. c. f. )

 of the Annocchy and Moctobi" (q. v.), 

 says: " They told me of a village of their 

 neighbors, the Chozettas; they are on a 

 river whose entrance is 9 leagues to the 

 E., which they call Pascoboulas." In 

 Gatschet's opinion the people of this vil-

Christanna Indians. A group of Siouan 

 tribes of Virginia, which were collected

 Gov. Spotswood settled these tribes there
