Question

How did the rivers of Mississippi affect the lives of First Nations people?

Answer 1

They provided a source of food that contributed to population growth.

To the Native American peoples of the river, the Mississippi was both highway and larder. On it they paddled their cottonwood dugouts and their bark canoes, and from it they took the fish that was a mainstay of their diet. Constant shifts of migration, local or large-scale, interwove tribal languages and cultures.
