Kaskinampo

The Kaskinampo were a Muskogean-speaking tribe whose recorded history carried them across the interior Southeast. John Swanton identified them with the fortified province of Casqui in eastern Arkansas that Hernando de Soto visited in 1541, and Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet encountered the same people on their voyage of 1673.

By 1701 they had moved east to the Cumberland River and then to Pine Island on the Tennessee River, where they settled beside the Koasati; the French governor Bienville counted 150 Kaskinampo warriors that year.

Once merged with the Koasati they ceased to be named separately, although Kaskinampo families still lived in the Koasati town of Coosada on the Alabama River. During the American War of Independence its Koasati and Kaskinampo inhabitants joined Dragging Canoe's Chickamauga Cherokee.
