The Akokisa (also known as the Accokesaws, Arkokisa, or Orcoquiza[1]) were an Indigenous tribe who lived on Galveston Bay and the lower Trinity and Sabine rivers in Texas, primarily in the present-day Greater Houston area.[2] They were a band of the Atakapa Indians, closely related to the Atakapa of Lake Charles, Louisiana.[3]
