A tribe of Siouan stock of the Mississippi region, now nearly extinct. They were in advance of the northern tribes in architecture and pottery and had an elaborate ritual. They were always friendly to the whites and at enmity with the southern tribes. They were evangelized first by the Jesuits and later by the Vincentians. The majority of them are Catholic.
