The Woodland and Mississippian Indians were similar in that they both practiced agriculture and lived in settled, permanent villages.

The prehistoric cultures of the East of North America were called the Woodlands, We are talking about 1000 BC. Some historians consider that some Natives reached the Great Plains region. After this culture, the Mississippian Indians arrived at this zone approximately in 700 AD. They spread over what today is Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Both cultures based their daily activities in growing crops such as squash, corn, and beans.
