The Chakchiuma were a Native American tribe of the upper Yazoo River region of what is today the state of Mississippi.[2]
In the late 17th century, French explorers identified the Chakchiuma as "a Chicacha nation," indicating that they were related to the Chickasaw and similar Western Muskogean speaking–tribes.[3] They likely shared a common origin as the Chickasaw and Choctaw people and merged into the Chickasaw Nation in the mid-18th century.[1]
