Yuchi (Chiska) incided the Chatot to rebeledit

In 1675, as appears from a letter from the Spanish governor of Florida to the crown, the Chatot rebelled, incited, as he claims, by the Chiska, wounded Fray Rodrigo de la Barreda, and drove him to Santa Cruz, the new Apalachee mission station on Apalachicola River.2 There he was protected by Florencia, who put an end to the disturbances,2 but soon afterwards the Chatot abandoned their country and withdrew among the Apalachee, where they settled in "the land of San Luis." 2 This withdrawal was probably due to hostilities on the part of the Chiska.
