Which Native American groups are listed as living east of the Mississippi River?

• A. The Mohawk, Iroquois, Huron, and Winnebago.
• B. The Apache, Hopi, and Pueblo.
• C. The Sioux, Cheyenne, and Comanche.
• D. The Navajo and Zuni.

Answer: (A)

You’re being asked to identify which Native American groups lived east of the Mississippi River. The Mohawk, Iroquois, Huron, and Winnebago all inhabited the eastern part of North America—around the Northeast and Great Lakes regions—areas clearly east of the river. The Mohawk and Iroquois (Iroquois Confederacy) were in the Northeast, the Huron lived near Lake Huron, and the Winnebago (Ho-Chunk) lived in what is now Wisconsin, still on the eastern side. The other groups listed come from areas west or far west of the Mississippi: Apache, Hopi, and Pueblo are from the Southwest; Sioux, Cheyenne, and Comanche are Plains tribes mainly to the west of the river; Navajo and Zuni are also from the Southwest. So the best match for groups living east of the Mississippi is the set that includes Mohawk, Iroquois, Huron, and Winnebago.
