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.
