Solution
The Crow of the Great Plains. The Crow were primarily a nomadic hunter-gatherer society, which is a stark contrast to the urban market center of Cahokia. The other groups, the Iroquois, Cherokee, and Aztec, all had more complex socio-economic organizations with established trade networks, similar to Cahokia.
