Biloxis are Native Americans of Siouan stock. They call themselves Tanêks. When first encountered by Europeans in 1699, Biloxis inhabited an area near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of what is now the city of Biloxi, Mississippi. They were eventually forced west into Louisiana and eastern Texas. Today, remaining Biloxis share a small reservation with the Tunica, an unrelated people, in Marksville, Louisiana. The Biloxi language--Tanêksąyaa ade--has been extinct since the 1930s when the last known native semi-speaker, Emma Jackson, died.
