Native American Tribe Series

Quapaw

A  Siouan tribe, closely related to the Kanza, Omaha, Osage, and Ponca, their name translates to "Downstream People," so called from a tradition that they went down the Missouri River while the rest of the Sioux went upriver. The Quapaw people historically resided on the west side of the Mississippi River in what is now the state of Arkansas. They are  identical with the Arkansa Nation. When they were encountered by the DeSoto expedition (1539-43), they were living in a fortified, walled city. In the larger villages, well crafted lodges were seen with most people living in long houses with domed roofs covered in bark. They practiced extensive agriculture, and in art, they were particularly noted for their pottery designs. Ironically, the Quapaw and French had an amicable relationship, for the French were usually at war with most other native tribes. In 1833, the Quapaw signed were forced out of Arkansas, relocating to Oklahoma where they remain today.

Quick park and grab. Log damp and probably needs to be replaced.

Headed out with Joe Friday today with the goal of finding at least 100 caches to earn the Hidden Creatures souvenirs. It was a hot day, but we got it done. Almost all of the caches were quick finds, with containers in good shape and well maintained logs. Not sure how we had so many unfound caches about a half hour from home, but glad we did as it allowed us to get the souvenirs fairly easily. Thanks for all of the fun placements!
