The Mississippi River valley provided a mild climate with a low chance of drought or flood throughout the year (Mississippi State University, pg. 1). Staple crops such as maize, beans, and squash that grew in this fertile region allowed for tribes such as the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek to flourish

Second, the parenthetical citation "(Mississippi State University, pg. 1)" is used at the end of the sentence about the climate of the Mississippi River valley, indicating that this information is from a source identified as "Mississippi State University" and that it is on page 1 of that source. Finally, the statement about the flourishing of Native American tribes in the region is a general statement that draws on the information presented earlier in the paragraph, so no specific citation is provided for this idea.
