	Battle of Ackia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Ackia (uh-KEE-uh) took place on May 26, 1736, near present-day Tupelo, Mississippi.
		The French sought to use the river to link their colony of Louisiana with the northern part of New France, but American Indian tribes such as the Chickasaws and the Natchez contested French control of the river valley.
		Ackia, a Chickasaw village, was attacked by a force of Frenchmen and Choctaws under the command of the governor of Louisiana, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville.
