Taposa

The Taposa were a small Indigenous people of the upper Yazoo River country, living near the Ibitoupa and Chakchiuma between the larger Chickasaw and Choctaw. Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville wrote of them in 1699, and a French map of 1733 shows a Taposa settlement near the Chakchiuma. The Ibitoupa may have joined them in 1722; the Taposa later allied with the Chickasaw.
