"Southwest Native Americans lived in Adobe homes. These houses had many levels in them and were made from clay and straw bricks. They were cemented together with adobe. Adobe homes housed one family, but the homes were connected together so many families lived next door to each other. These homes were good in warm dry climates for tribes that did not move around to hunt and gather."
"The Mississippian culture was a mound-building Native American civilization that flourished in what is now the Midwestern, Eastern, and Southeastern United States from approximately 800 CE to 1600 CE, varying regionally."
This changes when Atticus shoots the mad dog. They find out that he is a sharp shooter and was infamous in the county as one-shot Finch. They were now proud of their father. Jem is confused that his father has kept this a secret and at first wants to know why Atticus would not be proud and brag about this ability.
The reason Jem won't allow Scout to brag about Atticus's talent is because he wants to be a gentleman like his father and understands that having the ability to shoot beings is not something to take pride in.
