The Coushatta Tribe first entered documented history in the journals of DeSoto in the 16th Century. At that time, Coste, their principal town, was located on an island I the middle of the Tennessee River called “Cusatee.” According to his memoirs, DeSoto traded extensively with the Indians, who also served as guides and as liaisons between the white explorers and the Indian tribes of the region. Today the Coushattas, numbering about 300, live in the pine forests near Elton, LA. Their tribal customs intact, their traditional arts and crafts flourishing. The Coushattas are a recognized Indian Nation and remain a close-knit family unit, working to preserve their heritage for generations yet to come.
