Description
The Nanatsoho were a Native American tribe that lived at the border of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Nanatsoho were part of the Kadohadacho branch of the Caddo Confederacy. During the late 17th and early 18th centuries, they settled along the Great Bend of the Red River, in present day Bowie and Red River Counties. They lived between the Nasoni and Kadohadacho. Their settlement near a ford, and Nanatsoho hunters have excellent access to buffalo, beaver, and black bear, near tributaries to the Red River. Ultimately, they assimilated into other Kadohadacho tribes in the 19th century. They are enrolled in the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma today.

Their settlements are located near shallow waters, and Nanatsoho hunters can easily see buffalo, beaver, and black bears near the tributaries of the Red River. Eventually, they were assimilated into other Kadohada tribes in the 19th century. They are currently registered with the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma. The economy of the Southeast was mostly agricultural. The leading crop was corn, followed by beans and squash. Southeast peoples grew several varieties of corn. Wild game was abundant in most of the Southeast. Native peoples hunted deer, elk, black bears, beavers, squirrels, rabbits, otters, raccoons, and turkeys. In what is now the state of Florida, the diet included turtles and alligators.
