The Cherokee believed that Earth was a large island resting on the waters.

Each tribe thought that it was at the center of the Earth, which it called "This

World." Above This World was the "Upper World," which was cleaner and

purer than This World. The Upper World represented order and expectation.

Below the waters on which the Earth rested was the "Under World," a place

of disorder and change.

The Cherokee believed This World was usually orderly and predictable.

As long as people stayed pure and behaved themselves and kept nature in

balance, the spirits treated them justly. But illness and bad luck could come

to people who misbehaved and polluted the world around them.
