Quapaw (573 words)
QUAPAW, Native American tribe of the Siouan language family and of the Plains culture area.
The Quapaw spoke a language of the Siouan group, and most of the languages in that group were spoken near the Great Lakes or the Atlantic coast.
As the whites came in, the Quapaw were moved—first to Louisiana and, in the mid-1800s, to a reservation in Oklahoma.
The Quapaw Indians (493 words)
Quapaw Indians lived in four villages near the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers when they were first contacted by the French explorers Marquette and Jolliet in 1673.
Quapaw village life was ordered by ceremonies performed for important activities and events.  Each clan had specific ceremonial duties.
The Quapaws tried to maintain their policy of peaceful coexistence when the United States purchased the Louisiana territory in 1803, but they were forced to surrender their Arkansas lands to the U.S. government in 1818 and 1824.
