Geocache Description:

T. C. (Tribal Cache). This is a series of caches frojiles and I have teamed up on to pay tribute to the American Indians that inhabited this area of Arkansas. This series of caches is along a 2.4-mile hiking trail in the Big Creek Natural Area just north of Pangburn. This trail is open to FOOT traffic only so please respect the rules. This cache is in an lock-n-lock and hidden in a traditional way.

Quapaw Indians lived in four villages near the confluence of the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers when they were first contacted by the French explorers Marquette and Jolliet in 1673. Quapaw women wore deerskin skirts and went topless during the warm seasons. Married women wore their hair loose, but unmarried women wore braids rolled into coils fastened behind each ear and decorated with ornaments. Men went naked or wore loincloths during the warm seasons. Leggings, moccasins, and robes were worn by both sexes during the cold seasons.The Quapaws were close allies of the French in colonial Louisiana. During the subsequent Spanish regime, the Quapaws helped defend the colony from invasion by Indians allied with the English. The Quapaws tried to maintain their policy of peaceful coexistence when the United States purchased the Louisiana territory in 1803, but they were forced to surrender their Arkansas lands to the U.S. government in 1818 and 1824. A Quapaw reservation was established in 1839 in northeastern Oklahoma. If you find that this cache needs attention or if you have suggestions as to how the cache can be improved, please email me at my profile link or note it in your online log. Above all, be safe, have fun, and happy caching.
