The alliance between the French and the Natchez became unstable, as the leaders of the pro-British White Apple village gained influence.

Le Page du Pratz describes in great detail the events surrounding the death of Tattooed Serpent, including his funeral.

At the funeral of Tattooed Serpent, a number of commoner class servants of the War Chief were sacrificed by garrotting, following the Natchez custom.

During the funeral procession, the chief's body was carried to the temple on a litter made of cane matting and cedar poles.
