_The Pascogoula_, incorrectly termed Pascoboula Indians, were a small tribe settled upon Pascogoula river, three days' travel southwest of Fort Mobile. Six different nations were said to inhabit the banks of the river, probably all of Cha'hta lineage; among them are mentioned the Pascogoulas, Chozettas, Bilocchi, Moctoby, all insignificant in numbers. The name signifies "bread-people," and is composed of the Cha'hta páska _bread_, ókla _people_, the Nahuatl tribal name of the Tlascaltecs being of the same signification: tlaxcalli _tortilla_, from ixca _to bake_.
