WSOP Circuit Event: Harrah's New Orleans
The city of New Orleans has one of the richest and most unique histories in the United States.
The earliest records of human history in the area are of the Chitamacha tribe, a native people who had inhabited the area since around 500 A.D. In the early 18th century, heavily armed Frenchmen, accompanied by Indians from other tribes, began slaving raids against the Chitamacha. The tribe, decimated by war and disease, resettled in Harenton, LA over 100 miles from where their tribal reservation currently exists. MORE
