Which group of native arkansas used northwestern arkansas as its traditional hunting grounds? osage quapaw woodland caddo

The correct answer is - Osage.

The Osage tribe is a Native American tribe that has had a territory in what is now Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. The tribe has its roots as back as 900 BC, and it is closely related with the tribes like the Quapaw, Caddo, Wichita. They have had a turbulent history, with ups and downs, occasionally losing or abandoning territory because of wars with other tribes, or moving into new territories when they were the stronger side. They faced a big problem with the Iroquois that were moving in from the northeast around a couple of centuries ago, but managed to hold their ground, and actually became the strongest and most dominant tribe in the area.
