Question

Which practice distinguished the quapaw people from the osages?

Answer 1

There were three main Native American Tribes in Arkansas: Osage, Quapaw, and the Caddo.

The Quapaw people lived along the eastern half of Arkansas and their names means "downstream people". They were the first tribe to have contact with the Europeans and were known to be friendly and attractive people.

The Osage people lived in the upper northwest corner of Arkansas and called themselves the the "Children of the Middle Waters".
