Before Arkansas existed as a State the area was home to the Wahzhazhe (Osage) tribe in the north-west, Caddos in the south-west, Quapaws in the east and Tunicas in the far south-east. Later, Cherokees were forced into parts of the area as a result of White expansion further east.

Today there are no officially recognised native groups within Arkansas.

Which Indian group with a long-term connection to Arkansas was the first to be removed?

The first Indian group with a long-term connection to Arkansas that was removed is the Quapaw tribe. They were forcibly relocated in the early 1830s as part of the U.S. government's Indian removal policies, particularly under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Quapaw, originally from the Arkansas region, faced significant challenges during this period, leading to a decline in their population and cultural practices.
