The Tunica people are a Native American tribe originally from the southeastern United States, particularly in what is now Louisiana. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, including traditional crafts, music, and storytelling. Historically, the Tunica were involved in trade and alliances with other tribes and European settlers. Today, the Tunica people are recognized for their efforts to preserve their language and traditions. They have established the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana, which works to promote their cultural identity and provide services to their community. The tribe also engages in economic development through various enterprises, including gaming and tourism.
