	Atakapa - Biocrawler
		Atakapa is the name of a group of small bands and the language of Native Americans that lived along the Gulf of Mexico.
		The name Atakapa is derived from the Choctaw name Atakapa meaning 'people eater' (hattak 'person', apa 'to eat'), which is a reference to the practice of cannibalism exercised by Gulf coast peoples on their enemies.
		The Western Atakapa dialect is the best known with recorded words, sentences, and texts from 1885, 1907, and 1908.

		The Atakapa were originally placed in an independent linguistic stock, including also the Bidai, Deadose, and probably the Opelousa, but it has now been determined that they belonged to one family with the Chitimacha, their eastern neighbors, and probably the Tunican group on the Mississippi, the whole being called the Tunican stock.
