In 1541, the Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto was the first European to set foot in Arkansas. He led an unsuccessful, yearlong expedition for gold. One hundred and thirty-one years later, two Frenchmen named Marquette and Joliet visited Arkansas briefly. In 1682, at the mouth of the Mississippi, LaSalle claimed the Mississippi Valley for France, but was later assassinated by two of his companions. In 1686, Henri De Tonti set out from Fort St. Louis on the Illinois River to meet LaSalle at the mouth of the Mississippi. After he failed to locate LaSalle, De Tonti, the "Father of Arkansas", established the first European settlement in Arkansas, called Arkansas Post, with six residents. The Territory of Arkansaw was organized on July 4, 1819, and on June 15, 1836, the State of Arkansas was admitted to the Union as the 25th state and the 13th slave state.

Westerns are a good example.The idea of having some(Good-guy) Indians such as the Indian scouts who were really spies for the Army or Police came into being as art imitating reality.I ws just thinking about this this morning.The th9oght ocured to me the fictional Indian sidekick (Tonto) inthe Lone Ranger may have been based on the real life aide and practically side-kick of the French Voyageur (explorer) Robert De La Salle-who discovered Detroit by the way and claimed it for France was named Tonti or Tonty and was called Tonti of the Iron Hand.Wher this was because he had an artificial limb-whjich would have to bemade by the White Men, or because he had a strong-arm method of action, is not known.He was either Indian or Half-breed and Both He and Mr.LaSalle died in some sort of battle or Indian uprising as I recall,Again Fiction imitates fact-Paleface and redman as comrades-at-arms.

On April 9, 1682 Rene-Robert de la Salle [November 24, 1643-March 20, 1687] claimed all of the Mississippi River for France. He had moved to North America as an adventurous, hardworking 23 year old. But he became distracted from his initial plans to start a career as a farmer in modern day Canada. What distracted him was the information from Iroquois Indians of a great river that led to a sea.
De la Salle immediately thought that the river emptied into a body of water that would lead to Asia, and a profitable Far East trade. But it wasn't until 1682 that he found his great river. He claimed all of the Mississippi River Basin for France, and called it Louisiana.
The Frenchman continued to explore the area. It was during one of those explorations that he was assassinated by three of his own men. The heinous deed occurred in the subsequent state of Texas.

History
The Houma Indians had been driven to the most isolated swamplands on this continent to find a place where they could independently maintain their Indian ways of life, language, medicine, arts, traditions and ceremonies. It would be hard for one to imagine the struggles the Houmas would face and be forced to endure in the years to follow before gaining state and federal recognition.
The first written, historical mention of the Houmas occurred in 1682, when French explorer LaSalle noted a Houma village on the east bank of the Mississippi River opposite the Red River, near what is now West Feliciana Parish, LA. The total population of the tribe was estimated at between six hundred and seven hundred members at the time of the first encounter. By the beginning of the eighteenth century, about half the tribe died of disease introduced through contact with the Europeans.
The boundary line marker of the Houmas and the Bayougoulas Indians who lived to the south, was a tall red pole, topped with a bear head and several fish heads. This marked the hunting grounds for the two tribes. When the French first saw it, they referred to it as "le Baton Rouge".
The Houmas had many ways to obtain his food. The men were hunters and used the blow gun, made of local cane reeds, for small game such as turkey and rabbit. Darts were also made of bamboo. He became quite skilled with this weapon.
For larger game, he used the bow and arrow, and the spear. Arrow points and spearheads were made from shell, also of stone and flint which were traded from the Indians to the north. Tomahawks were made of shell and stone. Sharp shells were used as knives, as were flint and sharp stones.
The Houmas worked community fields, sometime several acres in size. Here they would grow such crops as a melon, pumpkin, beans, and several varieties of corn. The women did the planting. To break up soil, she fashioned a hoe in the ground with a stick, dropped in a seed and covered it over by hand. At harvest time she gathered the crops and stored them in community bins. These were built on stilts about 12 feet high and were kept highly polished to keep the rats away.
The Houmas spoke the Muskhogean language. Their language was used by most of the tribes in south Louisiana because it was easier to speak. As the white man came in, they adopted the French tongue and eventually English.
The red crawfish was the war emblem of the Houmas, although they were not warlike people. It helped identify them from other tribes.
As far as we know, the dugout pirogue was the only kind of boat the Houma used. Before advent of the steel ax, the Indian felled a cypress tree by fire. He then made another fire to eat through the other end. Still another fire was kept going in the middle to eat away at the insides until the desired width and depth was achieved.
Because of conflicts with the Tunica Indians and colonial tensions between the French and English, the Houmas began migrating south. By the late eighteenth century, the Houmas had settled in what is now Terrebonne Parish. They gradually occupied the bayou marshlands from Dularge in Terrebonne Parish to Golden Meadow in Lafourche Parish. Some took up farming, and many others took up hunting, trapping, and fishing in their struggle to survive. Many of their descendants continue in these occupations today, living in or near the same places where their ancestors lived. Houmas have traditionally maintained close kinship and friendships, and are tied to members in other areas through their extended families.
The children of the Houma tribe from the isolated rural areas of south Louisiana were educationally under-served for over two centuries. During the first half of the twentieth century, and well into the 1960's the Houmas were still struggling for the right to have their own schools. Denied admission to public schools, many remained largely uneducated until 1963, when they received access to public school on an equal basis. The tribe however continues to feel the wounds of their long educational neglect.
Throughout the struggles over land, education and trapping rights both the tribe and friendly whites appealed to the federal government for help. The Bureau of Indian Affairs has however continued to ignore its responsibility to this Indian people. Its failure to acknowledge the Houmas continues to cripple the tribe by excluding it from the full range of federal services to which it is entitled. The United Houma Nation, Inc., the governing body of today's Houma's compiled a petition for the federal recognition of the tribe. The tribe awaits the decision of the tribe's petition for federal recognition.
