| Description: Thousands of Indian tribes existed in North America before 1500. Little is known about most of them, but five farming civilizations left a deep imprint on the historical record. In the desert Southwest lived (1) the Mogollon to the south; (2) the Hohokam farther north and west; and (3) the Anasazi of the cliff regions and high plateaus farther north. To the east, the principal farming civilizations were (4) the Adena–Hopewell mound builders of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys and the (5) Mississippian civilization, the successor of the Adena–Hopewell peoples, who inhabited much of what would eventually be the eastern United States. Each civilization mastered agriculture, ceramics, textiles, and metalworking, although each did so in different ways. Their surviving artifacts provide clues to their distinctive cultures.
