Answer 1

Option A, B and D are correct answer. The Mississippian American Indians were present in Georgia at European contact; they were engaged in farming, growing crops such as maize and beans, and had established trade networks. Living in teepees was not typical in this region, and tobacco was already known to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

When considering the statements that correctly describe life for American Indians living in Georgia at the time of European contact, we can identify the following accurate descriptions:

• Mississippian American Indians were living in Georgia when Europeans arrived.
• American Indians in Georgia were farmers and had established agriculture as a major part of their lifestyle, growing crops like maize and beans.
• American Indians had established trade networks between villages by the time Europeans arrived, suggesting a complex society with economic interactions.

Contrarily, it is not accurate that most American Indians in Georgia were living in teepees, as this was not typical for the Southeastern tribes. Also, American Indians were already familiar with tobacco before European contact, as it was one of the crops they cultivated.
