In 1863 was Tomahawk, Searcy County, Arkansas an Indian reservation?

If so, which nation would it have been? I am trying to find out about my great grandmother.

“In 1808 the Osage sold their claim to northern Arkansas to the United States government, and nine years later a large portion of northwest and north-central Arkansas, including Searcy County, was set aside as a reservation for the Cherokee Indians.”

You should look for a Cherokee specific genealogy site to find information about your great grandmother, especially the first one which covers Arkansas Cherokee genealogy. If these don’t do it, there are more Cherokee genealogy resources than any other nation, partly because they’re so numerous, but also because they’re so organized.
