Okwa Naholo
Okwa Naholo, 'white people of the water,' are supernatural beings of Choctaw tradition who dwell in deep pools and springs. Recorded by Henry S. Halbert in the nineteenth century, they are described with light skins like the underside of a trout, and they seize swimmers, who after three days can no longer leave the water. Some traditions set their home beneath the Abita River.
