The Native American tribes, excluding modern day Mexico, are commonly split up into ten different areas: the Arctic, the Subarctic, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Plains, the Southwest, the Great Basin, California

The first attempt at dealing with Native American tribes can be seen through the acts of George Washington as he attempted to eradicate all indigenous people bypassing any attempt at a peaceful interaction. Washington insisted on developing a professional army which developed into a group of “vicious killers” (Dunbar-Oritz, 82).

The Quapaw are a Native American tribe originally located in the lower Mississippi Valley. As a tribe, they had a peaceful lifestyle, at least until outer influence with other countries, such as France. While they cooperated peacefully with the French, and later the U.S., that cooperation has been nothing but a source of great misery for them.
