Natchez Chiefdom
Overview
The Natchez were a Native American people who originally lived in the Natchez Bluffs area in the Lower Mississippi Valley, near the present-day city of Natchez, Mississippi, in the United States. The DeSoto chronicle failed to record their presence when they came down the river in 1543. They spoke a language with no known relatives, although it may be distantly related to the Muskogean languages of the Creek Confederacy.
