"The river flows at its own sweet will, but the flood is bound in the two banks. If it were not thus bound, its freedom would be wasted".
The Mississippi River is the second-longest river and major river of the second-largest drainage system in North America, second only to the Hudson Bay drainage system. From its historic source of Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, it runs mainly south for 2,340 miles (3,770 km) to the Mississippi River Delta in the Gulf of Mexico. With its numerous tributaries, the Mississippi's watershed drains all or portions of 32 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces between the Rocky and Appalachian ranges.
As its respectful Indian name implies, the Mississippi played a significant role in the lives of the aboriginal peoples established on its banks. To the Native American peoples of the river, the Mississippi was both a roadway and a pantry. On it, they paddled their cottonwood dugouts and their bark canoes, and from it, they took the fish that was a foundation of their food. Constant movements of migration, local or large-scale, interwoven tribal languages and civilizations. By the time Europeans came, the Sioux, who originally had dwelt on the upper river, had gone westward to give space to Ojibwa, Ho-Chunk (Winnebago), Fox, and Sauk. Downriver the Illinois tribe had created rich farming towns. And in the lower valley itself dwelt clans of Choctaw, Korea, Taensa, Chickasaw, Tunica, Yazoo, Pascagoula, Natchez, Biloxi, and Alibamu.
