Description:
The Ouachita Mountains, commonly referred to as the Ouachitas, are a interior highland region with several mountain ranges that span across the area of two states, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The Ouachitas continue in the subsurface to the northeast where they make a poorly understood connection with the Appalachians and to the southwest where they join with the Marathon uplift area of West Texas.

First Migration
(The Algonquian Cultures)
The Ouachita indigenous people lived who lived in Arkansas along the Ouachita River from about 1000 to 1700 CE and are believed to be loosely affiliated with the
Caddoan Culture which are one of possibly three tribes who hunted the Ouachita mountains of ancient Arkansas between both the
Red river and Ouachita river.
Some time earlier, their traditional homelands were the lower reaches of the Ouachita River in present-day northeastern Louisiana and along the Red-Black-Ouachita River system, but, the tribe is believed to have moved from there north into Arkansas to the Ouachita river on the northern side of the mountains.
