Capinan

The Capinan (also called Capina[1]) were a small tribe of Native American people from Alabama and Mississippi.[2] They lived along the Gulf Coast region along the Pascagoula River.[2][3] They are believed to have been a sub-tribe of the Pascagoula and Biloxi tribes. They might have been the same tribe as the Moctobi. Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville visited the tribe in 1699 and Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville in 1725.[2][3] They met many French people, and probably spoke both Siouan and French.[2]
