From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yatasi were a Native American people of Louisiana, part of the Natchitoches Native Americans who were part of that Caddo Nation, who lived in the area to the south of modern Shreveport prior to the European incursion into the area.

The Yatasi spoke a Caddoan language and were culturally similar to surrounding groups such as the Adai.
