Choctaw chief. Not much is known of the early life of Tascalusa (taw-skah-LOO-saw). The legendary parameters of Tascalusa’s spare biography never entered the folk storehouse of southeast Indian stories for a number of reasons. First, the Mobile Indians began to disappear as a tribe after 1540, eventually being absorbed into the Choctaw Nation in the early eighteenth century. Second, the North American Indian cultures in the path of Hernando de Soto’s expedition suffered almost complete cultural annihilation, wiping out any form of oral history that might have been passed on about Tascalusa and his tribe. Third, Spanish versions of Tascalusa’s life focus solely on his final days serving as the worthy counterpart to de Soto.
