PSA:

It has come to our attention that many tribal members' addresses are out of date within the Quapaw Nation database. This information is used to disseminate important information across the Quapaw Nation, including details about financial distributions, settlements, elections, the constitution, and Special General Councils.

It is also important to ensure that your Quapaw Nation tribal ID is up to date. Quapaw Nation tribal IDs are REAL ID compliant and can be used as a registered voter card for Quapaw Nation elections. Active Quapaw Nation tribal IDs may be required for future food distributions as well.

On July 31, 2025, the United States Department of Justice announced the launch of the Backpage remission process to compensate victims whose trafficking was facilitated through the Backpage website. The press release cross-references the remission website, www.backpageremission.com . This marks the largest remission process to date to compensate victims of human trafficking.

The Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section has prepared a one-page summary of the compensation program to support our efforts to reach as many potential victim petitioners as possible and engage the human trafficking advocacy community. We encourage you to share this with your community.
