DO NOT CODIFY. Legislative findings. 26 The General Assembly finds that: 27 (1) Arkansas was once home to numerous thriving Native American 28 tribes, including the Quapaw, the Osage, the Caddo, and the Tunica; 29 (2) The name "Arkansas" is derived from the Native American word 30 "Acansa", a name that refers to the Quapaw and means “southern place”; 31 (3) The forced migration of Native Americans along the Trail of 32 Tears during the 1830s brought even more Native American tribes through 33 Arkansas, such as the Cherokee, who established a large settlement along the 34 Arkansas River near modern-day Russellville before being forced to move 35 again, all the while suffering from disease, drought, and attacks from both 36 other Native American tribes and neighboring settlers; *MLD370*

  • Arkansas State Flag Protocol
    Protocol For The State Flag Provided by John Thurston Secretary of State www.sos.arkansas.gov Dear Citizen: Our state’s flag is one that is rich in symbolism and serves as an emblem of pride for all Arkansans. It is my pleasure to present these guidelines for the proper treatment and display of our state’s flag. My office receives many inquiries on the appropriate treatment of our flag. This booklet, compiled by the Committee on Protocol for the Arkansas State Flag in 1997, serves as a valuable resource that helps us all honor and respect this symbol of our statehood. It is my hope that this book will encourage all Arkansans, especially our youth, to learn more about the care and display of Arkansas’ standard and remember that it represents a beautiful state, rich in history.
