Palisema

Palisema was an Indigenous province of the Arkansas interior, visited by the Hernando de Soto expedition in 1541. Its country lay among the wooded hills and river valleys west of Coligua. One expedition account described the house of its chief, decorated with colored deerskins, which had been prepared for the visitors. The chief himself withdrew before the Spaniards arrived, and a party sent after him captured several people in the rugged country.
