Pakana

Pakana was a community of the Alabama river country, associated with other towns of the Creek confederacy. One Pakana village stood near the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa, beside the French post of Fort Toulouse. There, the inhabitants lived near the Alabama and Coushatta peoples, while French traders sought deerskins from the surrounding country. After France ceded its possessions in 1763, some Pakana moved west to Louisiana; by 1834 a community had settled farther west in Texas.
