Cahokia and Becoming Mississippian

Cahokia and Becoming Mississippian

Event Details

Irwin Community Center & Irwin Park, 18120 Highland Ave, Homewood, IL, 60430

Cahokia’s innovative fusion of religion, social structure, and economy soon gave birth to the “Mississippian” civilization, permanently changing Native American cultures in eastern North America. Many became “Mississippians” themselves. But how did this happen, and to what extent? Dr. Christina Friberg will discuss how a combination of archaeological techniques makes it possible to study these issues and begin to answer these questions.
