Tonikan Indians,
A stock of North American Indians belonging politically to the Chicasa Confederacy.
About 1700 there were three tribes living respectively in Avoyelles parish, La., at Tonica Bluffs, on the Mississippi River, and near the junction of the Yazoo and Mississippi rivers.
The second of these tribes was noted for its friendship with the French colonists, and all of them were skilful warriors.
The Tonikans now living are located on the old Avoyelles reservation, near Marksville, La.
