The tribes of Louisiana are diverse groups of Indigenous peoples, each with their own unique cultures and histories. Notable tribes include the Caddo, Choctaw, and Houma. These tribes have lived in the region for centuries, adapting to the rich natural resources of the bayous and wetlands. Many tribes in Louisiana are recognized by the state and have worked to preserve their traditions, languages, and crafts. They engage in cultural events, such as the Caddo Nation's Annual Powwow, to celebrate their heritage and educate others about their history and contributions to the state.
