Use the paragraph to answer the question.

Around 800 B.C.E, hunter gatherer groups started planting crops and settling near the Mississippi River (O'Brien and Kiffel-Alcheh, 2021). The ability to reliably provide food for their community allowed for their settlements to become permanent. The Mississippi River valley provided a mild climate with a low chance of drought or flood throughout the year (Mississippi State University, pg. 1). Staple crops such as maize, beans, and squash that grew in this fertile region allowed for tribes such as the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek to flourish.

The paragraph provides three citations in total. The first citation is provided by O'Brien and Kiffel-Alcheh (2021) for the information about hunter gatherer groups settling near the Mississippi River around 800 B.C.E. The second citation is provided by Mississippi State University (pg. 1) for the climate and flood information about the Mississippi River valley. Lastly, the paragraph mentions the tribes that flourished in the region, which is likely common knowledge, and therefore, no specific citation is given for this information.
