Which of the following groups did Hernando DeSoto encounter during his expeditions?

Pueblo

Mississippian

Inuit

Anasazi

Answer: Mississippian

Explanation:

The Mississippians lived around the Mississippi River valley between AD 800 and AD 1600. DeSoto encountered them in 1541, in one of his many voyages. With this finding, he and his men became the first Europeans to reach and cross the Mississippi River. The first called it the Rio Grande because of its immensity, but eventually, it became known as Meaot Massipi, which means "Father of the Waters" for the natives.
