30892 The Mississippian Period: An Exploration of Native American prehistory

This course will tell the story of the Mississippians, an amalgam of Indian peoples who dominated the landscape of North American from Trempealeau and Aztlan in Wisconsin, south to the Grand Village of the Natchez and east through the deep south extending northwards as far at the Carolinas. For five centuries from 1000 to 1500, Mississippian towns and villages were the dominant human feature on the landscape: walled settlements built to the same general plan, a privileged elite ruling literally from high, a religious structure that made the whole arrangement make sense.
