The Way We Got Our Name
The name Quapaw comes from from their original tribal name, which means "downstream people.'' They have also been known as the Alkansea or Arkansas Indians after a tribal town called Acansa, which meant '' southern.'' That is where our name of the state Arkansas came from.
Clothing
The women always wore deerskin dresses and the guys wore leggings, buckskin shirts, and breech-clothes. The male and female clothes were moccasins and long buffalo robes in the cold weather, and feathered clothes.
Food, Crops, and Introduces
The Quapaw indians had many different crops that they grew. They grew corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, and had tobacco fields in their fields. They also harvested nuts, and fruits after the Europeans came. The Quapaw's hunted deer and buffalo too.
Home's
The Quapaw lived in homes constructed of river can, wood and vines and coated with mud. The roofs were made of grass and tree bark. They lived in central Arkansas around where Little Rock is now, and to the East of that.
CHIEF'S
One of their chiefs names was Saracen Saracen. He led a group of family's to Pine Bluff on their reservation near the Red River. They eventualy settled in Red Bluff near the Arkansas River.
