Kadohadacho [Kd'dohadiVcho, 'real 

 Caddo,' 'Caddo proper' ). A tribe of the 

 Caddo confederacy, sometimes confused 

 with the confederacy itself. Their dialect 

 is closely allied to that of the Hainai and 

 Anadarko, and is one of the two dialects 

 dominant to-day among the remnant of 

 the confederacy. 



The Kadohadacho seem to have devel- 

 oped, as a tribe, on Red r. of Louisiana 

 and in its immediate vicinity, and not to 

 have migrated with their kindred to any 

 distance either n. ors. Their first knowl- 

 edge of the white lace was in 1541, when 

 De Soto and his followers stayed with 

 some of the subtribes on Washita r. and 

 near the Mississippi. The Spaniards nev- 

 er penetrated during the IHth and 17th 

 centuries to their villages in the lake re- 

 gion of N. w. Louisiana, but the people 

 came in contact with Spanish soldiers and 

 settlers from the w. by joining the war 

 parties of other tribes. Various articles 

 of European manufacture were brought 

 home as trophies of war. The tribe was 

 not unfamiliar with horses, but had not 

 come into jiossession of firearms when the 

 survivors of La Salle's party visited them 

 on their way n. in 1687. For nearly two 

 years La Salle had previous direct rela- 

 tions with tril)es of the Caddo confedera- 

 cy who were living in what is now Texas, 

 so that when the approach of the French 

 was reported the visitors were regarded 

 as friends rather than as strangers. The 

 chief of the Kadohadacho, with his war- 

 riors, taking the calumet, went a league 

 to meet the travelers, and escorted them 

 with marks of honortothe village on Red 

 r. On arrival, "the women," says Dou- 

 ay, "as is their wont, washed our heads 

 and feet in warm water and then placed 

 us on a platform covered with very neat 

 white mats. Then followed banquets, the 

 calumet dance, and other rejoicing day 

 and night." The friendly i-elations then 

 begun with the French were never aban- 

 doned. A trading post was established 

 and a flour mill built at their village by 

 the French early in the 18th century, but
