  C.H.S. HomePage -- Caddo Indians
The name Caddo is derived from French "Cadodaquois" of the eighteenth century and refers to the "Great Chiefs" of the Kadohodacho, the Caddo Indians, who may not have come into the valley proper until the late 1700s (Greer).
By the early 1800s most of the Indians in the area of the Caddo had migrated to Texas, and after a series of treaties (1818, 1820, 1824, 1833, 1835, 1843) and Quapaws were moved through the Caddo River region to the Red River Valley in Louisiana and later to Oklahoma.
