Around 800 B.C.E, hunter gatherer groups started planting crops and settling near the Mississippi River (O'Brien and Kiffel-Alcheh, 2021). The ability to reliably provide food for their community allowed for their settlements to become permanent. 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 (History editors, 2020).

Around 800 B.C.E, hunter gatherer groups in the Mississippi River valley started planting crops and settling in the region (O'Brien and Kiffel-Alcheh, 2021). The mild climate and fertile land allowed for reliable food production, leading to the permanent settlements of tribes such as the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek (History editors, 2020). This agricultural development in the region was supported by the low risk of drought or floods throughout the year (Mississippi State University, pg 1).
