	Uncovering Hidden Hazards in the Mississippi Valley
		The central Mississippi Valley is the most earthquake prone region of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains.
		The effort to assess the seismic risk in the Mississippi Valley is, however, hampered because the faults and other geologic structures related to earthquakes there have been deeply buried over hundreds of millions of years by thick layers of sediment.
		Most quakes in the central Mississippi Valley appear to be related to the major faults and large bodies of igneous rock within the rift.

	Mississippi Valley Prehistory
		The problem is lessened, if not eliminated, when we use the term simply to refer to the archeologically-known records of all societies that did not produce written accounts of their own.
		Institutionalized leadership and cultural distinctions recognized among separate communities were hallmarks of this era, and several technological innovations were developed including fired-clay pottery and the bow and arrow.
		The region's largest and most complex societies arose during the Mississippi Era, which began about 900 A.D. Temple mound ceremonial centers claimed the allegiance of multi-village communities numbering in the thousands, with economies supported by craft specialization and intensive agricultural production of corn, beans, and squash.

	Glacial Lakes and Rivers form the Mississippi River Valley
		It is likely that the river valley in the upper Mississippi was once 500 feet deeper than it is now, filled as it is with gravel and sand deposited by that melt-water.
		Therefore the lower Mississippi River Valley was probably formed during the Jurassic period, some 208 million years ago, as a failed arm of a triple junction.
		The modern Mississippi valley formed during the ice ages, however subsidence in the embayment area was probably more important than any role played by ice.

	THE ILLINI: LORDS OF THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
		When French explorers first journeyed down from Canada to the upper Mississippi Valley in the early Seventeenth Century, they found the region inhabited by a vigorous, populous Algonquin nation who called themselves "Hileni" or "Illiniwek" which means "men." (1).
		Others such as Hauser contend that the Michigamea were part of the original Illini root stock; that their journey across the Mississippi happened for the same reasons that caused the other sub-tribes to often leave the Illinois River valley.
		At the time of first European contact in the Illinois Valley (1666), many of the Illini lived in eastern Iowa along the Mississippi River with some villages concentrated along the Illinois River in central Illinois.
