Eiowane

Eiowane lies on the Chickasawhay River in eastern Mississippi, in the eastern Choctaw country. The Choctaw village of Yowani stood near the river, and Bernard Romans recorded the place name on his map of 1772. The Chickasawhay flows south to join the Leaf River, and together they form the Pascagoula, which runs on to the Gulf of Mexico. Choctaw families fished the river and grew maize and beans on its terraces.
