Detailed explanation-1: -The descendants of Cahokians might include people in various tribal groups in the Plains and the South today: the Quapaw, Omaha, Pawnee, Chickasaw, Ponca, Mandan, Choctaw, and Osage, among others.
Detailed explanation-2: -They might have started their own tribe. Why might the descendants of Cahokia have chosen to forget Cahokia? Because many of them were (possibly) members of other peoples.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cahokia was the largest city ever built north of Mexico before Columbus and boasted 120 earthen mounds. Many were massive, square-bottomed, flat-topped pyramids–great pedestals atop which civic leaders lived. At the vast plaza in the city’s center rose the largest earthwork in the Americas, the 100-foot Monks Mound.
Detailed explanation-4: -As the largest urban center on the continent, Cahokia became a center of religious devotion and trade. At its height, based on artifacts excavated, the city traded as far north as present-day Canada and as far south as Mexico as well as to the east and west.
