I think the Atakapa contributed heavily to the modern foundation of Zydeco music, I'll put this information in when I confirm it.--68.14.108.243 21:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gatschet and Swanton documented people in Southeastern Texas and Southwestern Louisiana in the 1880s through the first decade or so of the twentieth century who could speak the Atakapa language. So is it appropriate to say that they were "decimated" in the 1850s?

Correct. They weren't decimated in the 1850s. There is no citation to that either. Apparently, their descendants still exist. An entire article in the The Times of Acadiana (July 25, 2007 Vol 27 No 48) approaches this topic in depth and this is why the tribe is still fighting for recognition.
