ANADARKO, OR, MORE CORRECTLY, NADAKO 



A tribe of the Hasinai Confederacy of the Caddo. In 1542 the 

 Spaniards under Moscoso met them in northwestern Louisiana or 

 northeastern Texas, probably near the site of Logansport, La. They 

 reappear in history in the narratives of Joutel (1687), and Casaiias 

 (1691), and it is conjectured that they were then living on Shawnee 

 Creek in the southern edge of Kusk County, Tex. A Spanish mission 

 called San Jose de los Nazones was established July 10, 1716, for this 

 tribe and the Nasoni jointly, east of Angelina River and about 20 

 miles northwest of Nacogdoches. It had small success and was aban- 

 doned in 1719 on account of a threatened French invasion. The same 

 year a settlement of that tribe was visited by La Harpe. August 13, 

 1721, the mission was reestablished and the chief of the Nasoni rein- 

 stated as "governor." In 1729-30 it was discontinued here, with- 

 drawn ultimately to the neighborhood of San Antonio, and rechris- 

 tened San Juan Capistrano, but few if any Hasinai went with it. 

 The tribe continued to decline in numbers during the eighteenth 

 century but as late as 1812 a village of 200 souls, including 40 

 warriors, was reported on the Sabine River. Their later fortunes 

 followed those of the other Caddo tribes. 



Anadarko population. — In 1805 Sibley reported 40 men in this 

 tribe, in 1812 we have 200 given as just noted, and in 1818-20 we have 

 30 given and a population of 120-130. In 1820 Padilla states that they 

 numbered 200, and in 1828 Sanchez enumerated 29 families. In 1851 

 they were reported to number 202, in 1855, 205, in 1857, 210, after which 

 date they are not given separate status. (See Caddo.) 



APALACHEE 



A tribe or tribal confederation living between Aucilla and Apalachi- 

 cola Rivers, Fla. They were first encountered by the Spaniards under 

 Narvaez in 1528 and to their persistent attacks the misfortunes of that 

 expedition are mainly to be attributed. De Soto's army reached the 

 Apalachee province October 1, 1539, crossed a swamp or river, evidently 

 the Aucilla, and came to a town called Ivitachuco or Uitachuco, which 

 was in flames. October 5 they came to another called Calahuchi, where 

 they found a great quantity of dried venison, and finally they reached 

 Iniahico or Iviahica (Iniahica), represented as the most important 

 town of the province. They remained there until March 3, 1540, suf- 

 fering constant attacks from the Indians, who preserved the character 

 they had acquired in their dealings with Narvaez. One Relation repre- 

 sents the next province they traversed, one called Capachequi beyond 

 Flint River, as subject to Apalachee. If not related to the Apalachee, 

 the Capachequi Indians were probably connected with the Hitchiti, 

 whom they found just beyond. In 1564^65 the French at Fort Caroline
