Tiou

The Tiou were an Indigenous people whose roots lay in the Yazoo country of the lower Mississippi. Together with the Grigra, they were among the smaller communities that joined the Natchez farther south. By the 1720s the Tiou lived near the Grand Village of the Natchez, where French settlement was pressing increasingly upon Indigenous land. Their history links the Yazoo region with the towns of the Natchez bluffs.
