Nisohone

Nisohone was a name recorded for the Nasoni, a Caddo people of northeastern Texas. Their communities included an upper group near the Red River and a lower group among the Hasinai farther south. The latter lived near other Caddo settlements in the wooded country of the Angelina and Sabine rivers. In 1716 Spanish missionaries founded San José de los Nazones among the lower Nasoni. Disease and warfare later reduced the numbers of both groups.
