[3] According to several sources related to the Houma, many tribes in the area of Lake Pontchartrain were called Mougoulacha.
[6] In the year 1699 Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville journeyed to the east of the Mississippi River Delta and encountered the Mougoulacha tribe.
d'Ibberville determined that the letter was left by Tonti with the Quinipissa tribe fourteen years earlier.
The explorer d'Iberville said that he saw many carvings of opossums which they called choucouacha in their Native language along with offerings of deer, bear, and bison skins inside the temple.
A Jesuit priest named Paul du Ru said that the Mougoulacha had two temples in each village located on opposite sides of a large plaza.
