Yazoo (meaning unknown). An ex- 

 tinct tril)e and village formerly on lower 

 Y'azoo r., ^liss. Like all the other tribes 

 on this stream, the Yazoo were small in 

 number. Tlie people were always closely 

 associated with the Koroa, whom they 

 resembled in employing an r in speaking, 

 unlike most of the neighboring tribes. 

 The French in 1718 erected a fort 4 lea- 

 gues from the mouth of Y'azoo r. to 

 guard that stream, which formed the 

 waterway to the Chickasaw country. 

 In 1729, in imitation of the Natchez, the 

 Yazoo and Korf)a rose against the French 

 and destroyed the fort, but both tribes 

 were finally expelled (Shea, Cath. Miss., 

 430, 449, 185r>) and probably united with 

 the Chickasaw and Ciioctaw. AVhether 

 this trilje had any connection with the 

 West Y'azoo and East Yazoo towns among 

 the Choctaw is not known. See Gatschet, 

 Creek Migr. Leg., i, 1884.
