It also covers Cahokia’s population and monumental mound, explains how Mississippian society relied on hunting, foraging, trading, and agriculture, and describes later Anasazi cliff-dwelling pueblos built after about 900. Additional attention is given to Pacific Northwest village life supported by abundant fish and resources, plus the cultural significance of potlatch gatherings.

They began constructing earthen burial sites and fortifications around 600 B.C. Some mounds from that era are in the shape of birds or serpents; they probably served religious purposes not yet fully understood.  \nThe Adenans appear to have been absorbed or displaced by various groups collectively known as Hopewellians. One of the most important centers of their culture was found in southern Ohio, where the remains of several thousand of these mounds still can be seen. Believed to be great traders, the Hopewellians used and exchanged tools and materials across a wide region of hundreds of kilometers.  \nBy around 500 A. D. , the Hopewellians disappeared, too, gradually giving way to a broad group of tribes generally known as the Mississippians or Temple Mound culture. One city, Cahokia, near Collinsville, Illinois, is thought to have had a population of about 20,000 at its peak in the early 12th century. Atthe center of the city stood a huge earthen mound, flattened at the top, that was 30 meters high and 37  \nhectares at the base. Eighty other mounds have been found nearby.  \nCities such as Cahokia depended on a combination of hunting, foraging, trading, and agriculture for their food and supplies. Influenced by the thriving societies to the south, they evolved into complex hierarchical societies that took slaves and practiced human sacrifice.  \nIn what is now the southwest United States, the Anasazi, ancestors of the modern Hopi Indians, began building stone and adobe pueblos around the year 900. These unique and amazing apartment-like structures were often built along cliff faces; the most famous, the “cliff palace” of Mesa Verde, Colorado, had more than 200 rooms. Another site, the Pueblo Bonito ruins along New Mexico’s Chaco River, once contained more than 800 rooms.  \nPerhaps the most affluent of the pre-Columbian Native Americans lived in the Pacific Northwest, where the natural abundance of fish and raw materials made food supplies plentiful and permanent villages possible as early as 1,000 B.C. The opulence of their “potlatch” gatherings remains a standard for extravagance and festivity probably unmatched in early American history.  \nDirections: Read the passage above, then answer the questions below.  \n1. Who were the first mound builders?  \n2. Describe the Hopewellians.  \n3. What was life like in Cahokia?  \n4. Describe how and where the Anasazi lived.  \n5. How did Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest live?  \nText courtesy of the U.S. State Department, Bureau of International Information Programs, 2005  \n© Sttudenudent Handouts, Inc . www.studenthandouts.com","cbCaikrXE2i5TtAa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikrXE2i5TtAa","pdf",213846,"English","# Reading Passage\n## Early mound builders and Adenans\n## Hopewellians and trade centers\n## Cahokia and Mississippian society\n## Anasazi pueblos in the southwest\n## Pacific Northwest villages and potlatch\n# Questions\n## Question 1: First mound builders\n## Question 2: Describe the Hopewellians\n## Question 3: Life in Cahokia\n## Question 4: How and where the Anasazi lived\n## Question 5: Life in the Pacific Northwest","[{\"question\":\"Who were the first mound builders mentioned in the passage?\",\"answer\":\"They are often called the Adenans, the first Native-American group to build mounds in what is now the United States.\"},{\"question\":\"What is described about the Hopewellians?\",\"answer\":\"The Hopewellians absorbed or displaced the Adenans and developed an important center in southern Ohio, where they were believed to be great traders using and exchanging goods across a wide region.\"},{\"question\":\"How did people live in Cahokia and the Pacific Northwest?\",\"answer\":\"Cahokia depended on hunting, foraging, trading, and agriculture and developed complex hierarchical society.
