How did the Navajos store their food?

Answer 1

Cherokee Indians would dig holes in the ground in the fall and then line them with deer skins or other animal skins such as buffalo, but they preferred deer skin as it was more pliable. They would also wrap many of their sacred medicine plants in leaves and place them in reed baskets that were woven by the women. To preserve berries that they would collect they would cut open gourds and create a bowl like encasement and place the gathered berries inside the gourds and would also wrap the gourds with animal skins to prevent them being dug up by wandering animals. Cherokee also consumed nuts and would grind the shells for protection of delicate plants as the ground nut shells would prevent mold on the berries and the delicate plants that they would dry in the summer.Some of the holes were 6 ft and some were less deep. The Cherokee would then make a covering for the hole with wood and a mixture of mud and ground shells and reeds. The substance was much like that which was used for the building of log cabins. They would cover their underground 'refrigerators' with the woven wood structures and then place upon them animal skins to prevent moisture from seeping in. They would mark their underground food sources with large boulders or three way interwoven branches. In the winter time the Cherokee people were sparse with their preserved vegetables and would hunt rabbit, squirrel and other animals. They would never waste any part of an animal and would also boil the bones and make a broth. Fishing in the winter-time was also common, but they also preserved fish in the same way they did other animal. Dried in the sun during the summer time and often buried underground in case of a long winter. Water sources were also sanitized by boiling.
