The Carcajou Point site (47JE2, aka the Carcajou site, Carcajou village or White Crow's village) is located in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, on Lake Koshkonong. It is a multi-component site with prehistoric Upper Mississippian Oneota and Historic components.

The site was occupied by Native Americans as late as the 1820s and 1830s, when the Ho-Chunk tribe resided there. At that time, it was called "White Crow's village" after the name of the chief.
