Many people ask where the name ACANSA comes from. The word "Arkansas" is a Siouan Indian word. It has had several spellings over the centuries, including ACANSA, which was the name of a major Quapaw village in southeastern Arkansas. Many people believe that ACANSA meant "downstream people," but that isn't true - Quapaw, the tribe's own name for themselves, means "downstream people. ACANSA probably came from the Quapaw word meaning "southern place. Their non-native neighbors frequently referred to the Quapaw as the ACANSA, Arkansas, or Alkansea Indians because of this town.
