The answer is C. Simple writing systems for recording important traditions and events were not a characteristic of Native American societies during the Mississippian Period. There is no evidence to suggest that these societies had a written language or script. Instead, important traditions and historical events were passed down orally through storytelling and other forms of verbal communication.
