Nacachau

The Nacachau were a Hasinai Caddo people of eastern Texas, whose settlements lay east of the Neches River. Their neighbors also belonged to the Hasinai confederacy, whose communities cultivated maize, beans and squash in the river valleys. In 1716 Spanish missionaries established San Francisco de los Neches for the Nacachau and other nearby peoples. Thereafter the Nacachau became less visible in colonial records, and may have joined neighboring Hasinai communities.
