Detailed explanation-1: -When the French arrived, the Natchez were ruled by the Great Sun and his brother, Tattooed Serpent, both hereditary positions. The Great Sun had supreme authority over civil affairs, and the Tattooed Serpent oversaw political issues of war and peace, and diplomacy with other nations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Natchez, Mississippi may be best known for its antebellum mansions, but the human history of the area goes back thousands of years. The story ofNatchezbegins with the indigenous mound-building cultures, known since French occupation as the Nachee, or Natchez Indians.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like most other Southeastern Indians, the Natchez were agriculturalists who raised fields of corn, beans, squashes, and other crops including tobacco. Hunting and fishing activities were important, but perhaps as much for recreational purposes as for the subsistence returns these activities yielded.
Detailed explanation-4: -The paramount chief of the Natchez, called the Great Sun, lived at the Grand Village. The French accounts describe both the Great Sun’s house, which stood on Mound B at the center of the site, and a ceremonial temple, which stood on Mound C, the southernmost mound of the group.
