Re: Cahookia
Yes, the news as such was that a large percentage of the population were immigrants from near and far. Here's another brief article:

"A sprawling city in the heartland of the United States was a cultural melting pot hundreds of years before Europeans ever set foot in North America.
A study of dozens of teeth found at Cahokia, an ancient metropolis near modern-day St. Louis, shows that immigrants moved to the city from across the Midwest and perhaps as far away as the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions."
