Retain Old Religious Rite Near Devil's Hollow Quapaw Okla
In the vicinity of Devil's Hollow east of Quapaw Oklahoma a wigwane shaped church serves Quapaw full bloods who worship Great Spirit in silence. They pray around a small fire on a dirt floor from Saturday night to Sunday noon and share a feast afterward in a nearby mess house. Chiefs and land deals are noted with Quapaw land holdings and a refused sale of acres showing distrust of white buyers.
