Ongoulastoga

Ongoulastoga was a Chickasaw village shown on a French map of Louisiana in 1733, also recorded as Ougoula Tchetoka. The name is a rendering of a Choctaw expression for a principal town; its Chickasaw name was Chokkilissa. It stood near other Chickasaw villages on a broad prairie, in a region crossed by paths connecting their communities.

In 1736 the French sent forces against the Chickasaw after they sheltered Natchez refugees from Louisiana. Pierre d'Artaguette attacked Ongoulastoga before he could join the force led by Governor Bienville. The village lay apart from its neighbours, and afterward its people moved closer to the other settlements for protection. The campaign formed part of a long struggle between the Chickasaw and the French and their allies.
