 Who were the Houma Indians?
In the early eighteenth century the Houma were besieged by neighbouring tribes and, as a result, uprooted themselves and headed towards New Orleans.
The name Houma means ‘red’ and is, apparently, a shortened form of the name for their original parent tribe, the Chakchiuma, which was ‘red crawfish.’ The Houma have also been known by the names Ouma and Huma and by the derogatory term ‘sabine.’ They spoke the Muskogean language.
In the ensuing years the Houma learnt to associate a white face with death and destruction, either through the British slave traders or the diseases that seemed to inevitably follow wherever the white man went.
