The Nabiti are a Native American tribe from eastern Texas. [1] Their name means "Cedar Place" in the Caddo language. [2]
The Nadaco were part of the Hasinai branch of the Caddo Confederacy, [3] although early European explorers identified the Nabiti as enemies of the Hasinai [4] – a testament to the shifting alliances on the South Plains. They lived in settled villages on the banks of the Angelina River. [1]
Spanish priest Fray Casañas wrote about the Nabiti in 1691. He described them as being one of nine Hasinai tribes and that their territory sat between that of the "Cacháe" ( Cacachau) and the "Nasayaha" ( Nasoni). [5]
Today, Nabiti people are enrolled in the Caddo Nation, headquartered in Binger, Oklahoma.
The Nabiti were also known as the Amediche, Nabiri, Namidish, Naodiche, Naondiche, Naviti, and Nawidish. [2]
