Quapaw Nation<\/a> enrolled members is about to receive a lump sum of Covid-19 stimulus money directly from the Nation\u2019s Northeast Oklahoma office, Quapaw Chairman John L. Berrey announced. <\/p>\n\u201cEvery adult over 18 years old will receive $1,000. Every child under 18 will receive $500. So, a Quapaw family of, say, two adults and two children will receive $3,000, and we know it\u2019s coming at a time of great need,\u201d Chairman Berrey said. \u201cI\u2019m so happy we are able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quapaw Nation received $10.8 million in federal CARE Act stimulus funding, as have all other federally recognized Native-American tribes. The total for individual distributions is more than $4 million, and the remaining money will be spent on the Tribe\u2019s future Covid-19 related needs.<\/p>\n
Quapaw members should expect to see checks in their mailboxes as early as next week, Chairman Berrey said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe Quapaw people have so much now to look forward to, with the various business enterprises and expanded services we\u2019ll be able to provide,\u201d Chairman Berrey said. \u201cBut certainly, this financial boost of stimulus money is going to take off some of the pressure that many of our people have felt during the coronavirus pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n
