KOASATI KOEKSOTENOK 



[B. A. E. 



that in 1812 the Koasati on Sabine r. 

 numbered 600, and in 1820 Morse gave 350 

 on Red r., 50 on the Neches, 40 m. above 

 its mouth, and 240 on the Trinity, 40 to 

 50 m. above its mouth. Bollaert (1850) 

 estimated the number of warriors belong- 

 ing to the Koasati on the lower Trinity 

 as 500, in 2 villages, Colete and Batista. 

 In 1870 50 were in Polk co., Tex., and 

 100 near Opelousas, La. They were 

 honest, industrious, and peaceful, and 

 still dressed in the Indian manner. 

 Powell (7th Rep. B. A. E., 1891) says 

 that in 1886 there were 4 families of 

 Koasati, of about 25 individuals, near the 

 town of Shepherd, San Jacinto co., Tex. 

 As part of the true Alibamu were in this 

 same region it is not improbable that 

 some of them have been included in the 

 above enumerations. Those of the Koa- 

 sati who stayed in their original seats 

 and subsequently moved to Indian Ter- 

 ritory also remained near the Alibamu 

 for the greater part, although they are 

 found in several places in the Creek 

 Nation, Okla. Two towns in the Creek 

 Nation are named after them. (,j. r. s. )
