That tidbit is in a research paper by University of Southern Mississippi anthropology student Chris McPhail: "Mississippi Rivers: A Study of Choctaw Indian Place-Names of the Streams and Rivers of the State of Mississippi."
Sounds like ol Chris has a lot of spare time on his hands. Sure hope this was not done a a grant from the feds.
