Detailed explanation-1: -The Choctaw, Chickasaw, Quapaw, Osage, Caddo, Natchez, and Tunica occupied territories in the Lower Mississippi; the Sioux, Sauk and Fox, Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Pottawatomie, Illini, Menominee, and Ho-chunk (or Winnebago) occupied the Upper Mississippi.
Detailed explanation-2: -Around 900 CE a group of newcomers arrived in central Georgia, pushing out the existing Woodland culture and establishing various settlements.
