Quapaw Nation
The Quapaw (Ogaxpa, "Downstream People") are a Dhegihan Siouan-speaking people whose homeland was at the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers in present-day southeastern Arkansas. They are linguistically and culturally related to the Osage, Ponca, Omaha, and Kaw nations. The Quapaw entered into treaties with the United States that ceded their extensive Arkansas territories in the 1810s and 1820s. Today, the Quapaw Nation is headquartered in Quapaw, Oklahoma, and is known for its lead and zinc mining operations and cultural preservation efforts.
