WHAT WAS KASHE HOTAHPALA?

This animal seems to have been a cryptid or creature of Mississippi.  Its upper parts were supposed to look like a human's, the lower like a deer's.  Its visage was scary.  It gave tongue to loud screams.  I surmise that, with a name like that, it was a creature of Native American lore.  But I cannot find out any more about it.  The website whence I took it has vanished like the snows of yesteryear.  Anyone with more information is invited to pass it on.
