How did the Indians lived?
Like their distant cousins the Iroquois, the Cherokee Indians had an even division of power between men and women. Cherokee men were in charge of hunting, war, and diplomacy. Cherokee women were in charge of farming, property, and family. Men made political decisions for the tribe, and women made social decisions for the clans. Chiefs were men, and landowners were women. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine.Today, Cherokee gender role traditions have changed. Cherokee women can be chiefs also... and Cherokee men are sometimes farmers. However, modern Cherokee people still trace clan relationships through their mothers.The Cherokee Indians lived in settled villages, usually located near a river. Cherokee houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs. These dwellings were about as strong and warm as log cabins. Here are some pictures of Native American houses like the ones Cherokee Indians used. The Cherokees also built larger seven-sided buildings for ceremonial purposes, and each village usually had a ball field with benches for spectators. Many Cherokee villages had palisades (reinforced walls) around them for protection. Today, Cherokee families live in a modern house or apartment building, just like you.
What was the family life of the creek Indians?
The Creeks are original residents of the Southeastern states such as Georgia, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina.The Creek Indians lived south of the Etowah river in Georgia. They also lived South to the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and West to the Coosa (mostly in Alabama). Creek Indians made their homes along rivers and creeks, as the name supposes. They lived in towns with populations that varied from 400 - 600. The towns had a large open area for meetings called 'Plazas', as well as large round buildings that held all the people within the town. Their houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs. Grass houses and Wigwam homes are the common houses known of. The children play together, go to school and help around the houses. Many Cherokee children enjoy hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Cherokee children had less time to play than they do now, and one of their more common games is shooting a dart through a moving hoop. The men wore breechcloths and leather leggings, whereas women wore wraparound skirts and mantles made of deerskin or woven fiber. Men did not usually wear shirts, though both genders wore cloaks in cool weather. They also wore moccasins on their feet. They were traditionally farming people. The creek women did the majority of the farming, harvesting crops of corn, squash, pumpkins, beans and various other vegetables. They also gathered wild fruits and nuts. Creek men did the hunting, shooting deer, wild turkeys, and small game and fishing in the rivers and along the coast. Creek dishes included cornbread, soups and stews. For hunting, they use bows and arrows primarily, but fishermen used spears, nets or hooks made of bone. In war, the men fired their bows or or fought with tomahawks and war clubs. They used hide shields to defend themselves. Creek Indians were and are more intelligent than people assumed. When the Native Americans appeared, the Creeks thought of them as uneducated and savages. They were all very smart and healthy. They bathed and brushed their teeth daily. They also had a highly organized social system with strict rules of personal conduct and respect for one another. Hope this helped.
What did Cherokee Indians live in?
The Cherokee lifestyle was one very dependent on community. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers/farmers who lived either in earth shelters or log homes. They had a strong sense of national pride and were very concerned about their morals and religious life. It is important to remember that they were also a Matriarchal society (meaning the women owned everything, and the tribal clans followed the womans linage). However the women had no voice (at least publicly). This stayed true to the balance that every member attempted to maintain.
