Tensas Parish (French: Paroisse des Tensas) is a parish located in the northeastern section of the State of Louisiana. As of the 2010 census, the population was 5,252,[1] making it the least populous parish in Louisiana. The parish seat is St. Joseph.[2] The name Tensas is derived from the Taensa people. The parish was founded in 1843.[3]

Though the 56 percent black population is large in comparison to most other parishes; Tensas Parish, a century earlier in the 1910 census had 15,614 African Americans (92 percent) and only 1,446 whites (8 percent). In 1940, there were 11,194 blacks (70 percent) and 4,746 whites (30 percent).[4]

Lots of white sheets with holes in the mask up there. Family trees have not forked much since the Civil War ended.
