Context of Reciprocity
Mississippian urban centers still prevailed in much of the Southeast. North American Indians grouped themselves in several hundred nations and tribes, and spoke hundreds of languages and dialects. Despite the vast differences among Native American societies, all were based on kinship, reciprocity, and communal ownership of resources. Trade facilitated the exchange not only of goods but also of technologies and ideas. Thus, the bow and arrow, ceramic pottery, and certain religious values and practices characterized Indians everywhere.
