Shown here is the Quapaw Treaty of 1824, upon which fifteen Quapaw chiefs and warriors placed their mark or signature, thereby agreeing to its provisions. Under the treaty, the Quapaw were relocated along the Red River in present-day Louisiana. After several crop-destroying floods, many of the displaced Quapaw returned to Arkansas, while others remained at their new homes never to return.
