The Taposa were an Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands from what is now Mississippi in the United States.
The Taposa were a small tribe like their neighbors, the Ibitoupa and Chakchiuma, who all lived along the upper Yazoo River between the larger, more powerful Chickasaw and Choctaw.
History
17th century
The Taposa were first written about by French colonist Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in 1699. Another neighboring tribe, the Ibitoupa may have merged into the Taposa in 1722. The Taposa ultimately allied with the Chickasaw.
