Why did the Shawnee tribe live in wigwams?
Asked by Wiki User
As with all tribes, their homes were constructed using materials readily available. Usually the style of homes had spiritual and historical significance to the tribe. The wigwam made of brush or bark laid over the wooden frame was in the form of the sacred circle. It was practical as it used the wood abundantly available at that time and provided shelter that stood up to the worst of weather.

Did the Shawnee Indians believe in God?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes they did Answer: The Shawnee did not believe in the Christian God before contact with Europeans. They had their own pantheon of gods and goddesses with their own areas of specialization. Post contact there may have been several adoptions of deities roles and responsibilities.
The Shawnees have unique belief among the Algonquin peoples in believing that creator was a woman called "Kokumthena"(Our Grandmother). She is human like female with gray hair whose size ranges from gigantic to very small. Creation wasn't her idea but was assigned to her by "Moneto". Her job is not finished as she also gets to end the world when it is time. She is the most important figure in Shawnee religion. This belief in a female creator/destroyer may have developed after 1824, some studies indicate she may have been patterned after the Virgin Mary. The Supreme Being is Moneto. He gets to reward and punish folks who earn his favour or annoy him.
The "Great Sprit" is ruler of destinies, who is subordinate to Moneto. The "Great Spirit" lives in a home in the sky.
There is alway a "devil". For the Shawnee there is is a great white spirit who will try to change the creator's designs and shorten the years of the Shawnees, and The Great Horned Serpent who will come from the sea to destroy the Shawnees. The serpent is a common motif to the Great Lakes tribes.
A demi-god called Misignwa parallels T'sonoqua of the British Columbia tribes. He/she is a protector of the woods and animals (and an eater of children)
There are three weather controlling gods:
* Cyclone Person, a female face with braids of hair that cause tornadoes.
* The four winds
* The Thunderbirds which cause storms and lightening. They also serve as war totems
