Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Chatot (also Chacato or Chato) were a Native American people who lived in the upper Apalachicola River and Chipola River basins in what is now Florida in the 17th century. The Spanish established two missions in Chatot villages in 1674. As a result of attempts by the missionaries to impose full observance of Christain rites and morals on the newly converted Chatots, many of them rebelled, trying to murder one of the missionaries. Many of the rebels fled to Tawasa, while others joined the Chisca, who had become openly hostile to the Spanish. Others Chatots moved to missions in or closer to Apalachee Province, abandoning their villages west of the Apalachicola River.

After the destruction of Apalachee Province by the English of the Province of Carolina and their Native American allies in 1704, the surviving Chatots moved west with Apalachees and other peoples of the province, settling in the vicinity of Mobile Bay. Some of those Chatots may have been absorbed into the Choctaw nation. When West Florida was transfered to Great Britain in 1763, other Chatots moved west to Louisiana.
