Archaeology of the Tunica.
This disaster prompted the surviving Tunica to move yet once again. Their traditions and French records are silent about this event. Perhaps the reason was that the move, itself, was of such a
minor nature, being only a few miles to the south, to the site we now know as Trudeau. According to contemporary cartographic evidence, this move must have occurred that same year of 1731.
