    O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ Quapaw Country Authored by Bandy Edited by Lasiter This paper is meant to provide background information about the ancestral homeland and migration area (aka “Ancestral Territory”) of the Quapaw Nation through time. The intended purpose is for additional information which may be useful in the Section 106 process. Examples of potential use would be for an archeologist requesting additional background information to include in a CRS or an ethnographer to include in a Heritage Study; with other related applications being possible. Federal agencies may request a list of all counties in the Quapaw ancestral area of interest by emailing [email protected]. Figure 1 Quapaw Nation Ancestral Area of Interest by county Throughout history the homeland of the Quapaw Nation has changed. Oral history indicates a tribal origin along the Atlantic Ocean. [12, 16, 27, 28] After some time, the tribe began to move west, and eventually settled in the lower Ohio River Valley. The Quapaw Nation believes this was near modern day Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties in Indiana. The Angel Mounds Site is believed to be a significant surviving site from this time and has been declared a sacred site by the Quapaw Nation. [26] At this point in history, what would become the Omaha, Ponca, Osage, Kaw, and Quapaw all comprised one tribal nation. In the late 1800s an anthologist named James Owen Dorsey (Dorsey) would later give this group the name “Dhegiha Sioux” or simply “Dhegiha”. He derived this word from the Omaha word “The’giha” meaning “this group” or “on this side”.

One development was the so-called December 1870 Okmulgee Constitution, fashioned in the Creek capital, that provided a model for a new full-fledged Indian state to replace the Territory. Various versions of the text of that document (and of a revised rendition) were published, as part of the official and unofficial record of the sequence of proceedings.

French diplomatic savoir faire and their skill at trading with Indians are usually cited to explain this success, but the Spaniards relied upon similar policies of trade and gift giving, while enjoying considerably less success with the Indians. Intimate Frontiers proposes an alternative model to understand the relative success of French Colonization in North America.
