The_Cherokee

The Cherokee 40,000 years ago, the Cherokee, meaning people of fire, were a small tribe in Siberia, during the ice age. Then one day, a bridge appeared. The Cherokee followed the migrating animals in search of better land. They came onto American soil and traveled south to what is now Georgia and North Carolina. Once they settled, they began a new life style. The Cherokee had 7 different clans, the wolf, the wild potato, the paint, the blue, the long hair, the bird, and the deer. They are expert farmers; they grow squash, beans, corn, pumpkin, sunflowers, and tobacco. Their houses were made of mud straw, reed, and grass. Men wore deerskin moccasins, and a breachout.(A piece of fabric that goes between the knees and held by a belt.)They mostly hunt, fish, and chop trees to make canoes. Women wore furs or woven fibers of plants. Knee-high skirts, deerskin, and moccasins too. They mostly gathered berries and nuts, and sew baskets as well as pottery.
