Detailed explanation-1: -Why might the descendants of Cahokia have chosen to forget Cahokia? Because many of them were (possibly) members of other peoples. Because they thought Cahokia was a terrible place. Because they had lived in Cahokia for so long that they started to forget about it.
Detailed explanation-2: -It might have been a matter of political factionalization, or warfare, or drought, or disease-we just don’t know.” There are clues. In later years, Cahokians built a stockade encircling central Cahokia, suggesting that inter-group warfare had become a problem.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mississippian culture spread across the eastern U.S. Today, several tribes, including the Osage, the Chickasaw, and the Peoria, trace their ancestry back to the people who built Cahokia.
Detailed explanation-4: -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, Choclaw, and Osage, among others. One group might have descended from the Cahokian elite, and another from farmers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Cahokia began to decline by the 13th century and was mysteriously abandoned around AD 1300-1350. Scholars have suggested various causes, such as environmental factors, flooding, deforestation, or an exhaustion of natural resources.
