The Quapaw (/ˈkwɔːpɔː/KWAW-paw,[2] Quapaw: Ogáxpa) or Arkansas, officially the Quapaw Nation,[3] is a U.S. federally recognized tribe comprising about 5,600 citizens. Also known as the Ogáxpa or “Downstream” people, their ancestral homelands are traced from what is now the Ohio River, west to the Mississippi River to present-day St. Louis, south across present-day Arkansas and eastern and southern Oklahoma.[4] The government forcibly removed them from Arkansas Territory in 1834. The tribal capital is Quapaw, Oklahoma.
