The 1900s began very favorably for the Quapaw when rich lead and zinc deposits were found on their land. This led to the mining of over five million dollars worth of deposits. Because the Quapaw were generous by nature and took care of each other like a big family, the rich members of the tribe shared their wealth with the poorer members. Another major force in Quapaw life, the Peyote religion, also began in the early 1900s. This religion was introduced by a Caddo man named John Wilson. The Quapaw version of the Peyote religion was strongly influenced by Wilson's vision of being transported to the moon, which he experienced during a trance. Their version of the Peyote religion also included Christian rituals and symbols. The Peyote Religion, which later became known as the Native American Church, held important the principles of generosity, charity, and unity among the Native American tribes. This is another factor that influenced the richer Quapaw to share their wealth with the poorer members of the tribe.
