Events

• Natchez fight French -- at Fort Rosalie, when French governor Sieur Chepart tells them they must abandon the Temple Mound Great Village and move (as laborers) to his plantation. After the initial Indian successes, French lead two counter-invasions out of New Orleans, capturing and selling into plantation slavery most of the tribe and its smaller allies. A few bands live in hiding along the Mississippi River and continue their resistance.
• French governor of Louisiana, wanting the site for a plantation, orders the Natchez to vacate their capital. The furious Natchez kill 200 Frenchmen at Fort Rosalie in response; the French answer by annihilating the Natchez.
