Yatasi. A tribe of the Caddo confed- 

 eracy, closely affiliated in language with 

 the Natchitoch. They are first spoken 

 of by Tonti, who states that in 1690 their 

 village was on Red r. of Louisiana, n. w. 

 of the Natchitoch, where they were living 

 in company with the Natasi and Choye. 

 Bienville and St Denys, during their Red 

 r. trip in 1701, made an alliance with the 

 Yatasi and henceforward the tribe seema 

 to have 1)een true to the friendship then 

 sealed. The road frequented by travel- 

 ers from the Spanish province to the 

 French settlements on Red r. and at New 

 Orleans passed near their village. Dur- 

 ing the disputes incident to the uncertain 

 boundary line between the Spanish and 

 the French possessions and to the Spanish 

 restrictions on intertrade, they proved 

 their steadfastne.ss to the French interesta 



by refusing to comply with the Spanish 

 demand to close the road. The Indians 

 maintained that "the road had always 

 been theirs" and that it should remain 

 open. St Denys' invitation to the vari- 

 ous tribes dwelling in the vicinity of 

 the post and fort established among the 

 Natchitoch in 1712-14 to settle near by 

 under his protection was opportune, for 

 the Chickasaw were then waging war 

 along Red r. and the Yatasi were among 

 the sufferers. A part of the tribe sought 

 refuge with the Natchitoch, while others 

 fled up the river to the Kadohadachoand 

 to the Nanatsoho and the Nasoni. The 

 wars of the 18th century and the intro- 

 duction of new diseases, especially small- 

 pox and measles, had such an effect on 

 the Yatasi that by 1805, according to 

 Sibley, they had become reduced to 8 

 men and 25 women and children. This 

 remnant was then living in a village mid- 

 way between the Kadohadacho and the 

 Natchitoch, surroundetl by French set- 

 tlements. In 1826 (U. S.' Ind. Treat., 

 465, 1826) they numbered 26 on Red r. 

 Little more than the name of the Yatasi 

 now survives, and those whoclaim descent 

 from the tribe live with the Caddo on the 

 Wichita res. in Oklahoma. (a. c. f. )
