Piechar. A village or tribe mentioned 

 by Joutel as being n. or n. w. of the 

 Maligne (Colorado) r., Texas, in 1687. 

 The name seems to have been furnished 

 to Joutel by Ebahamo Indians, who were 

 probably afiiliated with the Karankawa. 

 The locality was occupied chiefly by 

 Caddoan tribes. (a. c. f. )
