Chakchiuma
The Chakchiuma were a Native American tribe of the upper Yazoo River region of what is today the state of Mississippi. The identification of the Chakchiuma by the French of the late 17th century as "a Chicacha nation" indicates that they were related to the Chickasaw and of similar Western Muskogean stock. They likely shared a common origin as the Chickasaw and Choctaw people and were absorbed into the Chickasaw Nation in the mid-18th century.
