Question

Were their ever any native americans in yalobusha county of mississippi?

Answer 1

Yes. In every state, in every county.  In Cook County, Illinois, for instance, a tribe of mound builders built where Chicago now stands. But, considering the millions of Native Americans that used to live in the Americas, EVERYWHERE there were Natives.

Yalobusha come from the Indian meaning "tadpole place". [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cou... ]

Answer 2

Yes.

A growing body of archaeological evidence of ancient mound-building cultures in the Southeast indicates there were permanent settlements in the areas now called Mississippi, Louisiana and Florida even before the great pyramids were built in Egypt and before the Mayan culture arose in Central America...  Dozens of Indian mounds once dotted the Yalobusha River valley and the area around Holcomb, many unfortunately now vanished under farm fields. But their memory is fascinating window into history.  http://www.holcomb.org/legacy/index.htm

Yalobusha County gets its name from the Yalobusha River, whose name means place of the tadpoles.  http://www.holcomb.org/names/index.htm

In 2006, according to federal estimates, there were 29 inhabitants of Yalobusha County who were Native American Indian or Alaska Natives.  http://www.fedstats.gov/qf/states/28/281...

Yalobusha County was established on December 23, 1833, and most of its area lies within the territory acquired from the Choctaw Indians in the treaty of Dancing Rabbit, 1830. The original act defined its boundaries as follows:

“Beginning on the line between townships 21 and 22, at the point at which the line between 8 and 9 east crosses the line between townships 21 and 22, and running from thence north, with the said line between ranges 8 and 9 east, thirty miles; from thence west, to the line between ranges 3 and 4 east, from thence south with said line between ranges 3 and 4 east, to the line between townships 21 and 22, and from thence east to the place of beginning.”

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Yes. They may have migrated through according to the climate, but basically every county in the continental US had Indians in it at some time or other, even the really desolate ones in the deserts out west.

"In" may mean hunting camps, not permanent villages.
