Southastern tribes were highly agricultural, growing crops like maize for food, and cotton for clothing. They also shared a similar religious beliefs and engaged in mound building to create sacred or acknowledge sites. Many of the religious beliefs of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex or the Southern Cult, where also shared by the Eastern Woodlands tribes, probably spread through the dominance of the Mississippian culture in the 10th century.
