Bayagoula
The Bayogoula (also known as the Bayagoula, Bayagola, or Bayugla) were a Native American tribe from Louisiana in the southern United States. John Reed Swanton translated the name to mean "bayou people" and wrote that they lived near Bayou Goula in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. Their name has been written as . Language The Bayogoula language is undocumented and hence also unclassified. They may have spoken a Southern Muskogean language, related to the Choctaw language and Houma language. History 17th century Ethnologist James Mooney estimated that the Bayagoula, Quinipissa, and Mugulasha had a combined population of 1,500 in 1650. In 1699, the Bayagoula were one of the first tribes in Louisiana to meet French colonist Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville. They shared a village with the Mugulasha, a related tribe.

Quinipissa
The Quinipissa (sometimes spelled Kinipissa in French sources) were an Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands who were living on the lower Mississippi River, in present-day Louisiana, as reported by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in 1682. In 1682, La Salle encountered a group of Quinipissa living with the Koroa in a village on the western bank of the Mississippi River. The Quinipissa joined the Mougoulacha. The combined group shared a village with the Bayagoula. In 1700, the Bayagoula massacred both the Quinipissa and Mougoulacha, and they were not mentioned again by chroniclers of the time. Language The Quinipissa may have spoken the same language as the Mougoulacha and Bayagoula. The Bayagoula language is only attested with a single word. Albert Gatschet considered Quinipissa a Muskogean language ''Coast Choctaw'' ("Coast Chaʼhta") based on evidence that many peoples of this area spoke the lingua franca Mobilian Jargon and have names that appear to ...

Mugulasha
The Mougoulacha were a Native American tribe that lived near Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. Some sources indicate that the Mougoulacha may have been the same tribe as the Quinipissa, Acolapissa, and the Tangipahoa. John Reed Swanton suggests that the Quinipissa merged into the surviving Mougoulacha. According to several sources related to the Houma, many tribes in the area of Lake Pontchartrain were called Mougoulacha. Name The name Mougoulacha, also spelled ''Mugulasha'' is a simplified version of the name Imongolosha, which may translate as "People from the other side". Population Ethnologist James Mooney estimated that the Mougoulacha, Bayagoula, and Quinipissa had a combined population of 1,500 in 1650. In 1699 Iberville said that the Bayagoula and Mougoulacha together had about 180 to 250 warriors and an estimated 1,250 people. Language The Mougoulacha language was a Southern Muskogean languages, closely related to Choctaw and Chickasaw. History In the year 1699 ...

Extinct Native American Tribes
Extinction is the termination of an organism by the death of its last member. A taxon may become functionally extinct before the death of its last member if it loses the capacity to reproduce and recover. As a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence. Over five billion species are estimated to have died out. It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryotes globally, possibly many times more if microorganisms are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, and mammoths. Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation. Species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Smallpox
Smallpox was an infectious disease caused by Variola virus (often called Smallpox virus), which belongs to the genus '' Orthopoxvirus''. The last naturally occurring case was diagnosed in October 1977, and the World Health Organization (WHO) certified the global eradication of the disease in 1980, making smallpox the only human disease to have been eradicated to date. The initial symptoms of the disease included fever and vomiting. This was followed by formation of ulcers in the mouth and a skin rash. Over a number of days, the skin rash turned into the characteristic fluid-filled blisters with a dent in the center. The bumps then scabbed over and fell off, leaving scars. The disease was transmitted from one person to another primarily through prolonged face-to-face contact with an infected person or rarely via contaminated objects. Prevention was achieved mainly through the smallpox vaccine. Once the disease had developed, certain antiviral medications could poten ...
