Detailed explanation-1: -The Mississippians lived in both large and small communities. Chiefs ruled towns or regions, called chiefdoms. These chiefdoms had contact with each other through wars, trade, and alliances.
Detailed explanation-2: -A chiefdom is a form of hierarchical political organization in non-industrial societies usually based on kinship, and in which formal leadership is monopolized by the legitimate senior members of select families or ‘houses’.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mississippian societies are called chiefdoms because they were governed by small groups of elites or even by a single individual, called a paramount chief. Commoners and outlying satellite villages paid tributes of corn, deer meat, animal skins, and prestige items to the principal town.
