The Mississippian culture, spanning from 800 CE to 1600 CE, is famous for its large, complex ceremonial mounds and urban centers like Cahokia. Mississippian people practiced a rich mythology featuring powerful animal and celestial spirits linked to their beliefs in agriculture and nature.
This culture’s art and artifacts, depicting figures like the falcon and serpent, provide insights into the mythological creatures central to their worldview. The Mississippian legacy remains influential in the history of Native American spiritual traditions.
