Canonizochitoui Indians

The Canonizochitoui Indians are known from a single 1691 Spanish missionary report, which lists them among the groups that lived southeast of the Hasinais. Since no distance was specified, it is impossible to tell whether these Indians lived in eastern Texas or western Louisiana. The latter part of the name, -zochitoui, resembles Souchitiony, an early form of Doustioni, the name of a Caddoan tribe that lived near the site of present Natchitoches, Louisiana, in the eighteenth century. No further evidence in support of this identification has been found.
