Chatot

The Chatot, also called Chacato, lived along the upper Apalachicola and Chipola rivers in present-day Florida. Spanish missionaries established two missions in their villages in 1674, but attempts to impose Christian observances provoked a revolt.

After English and allied raids destroyed the Apalachee missions in 1704, surviving Chatot moved west toward Pensacola and Mobile bays. Some moved on to Louisiana when Britain acquired West Florida in 1763.
