Cherokee - Southeast (Mountains)
Ojibwa - Eastern Woodlands / Great Lakes Area
What tribe are you studying? What is an interesting fact your have already learned? What do you still wonder about?
The Chumash made acorn cake, and made boats and went fishing. Acorns were very important to them. I wonder if they ever mined for gold.

DeleteI'm studying the Cherokee tribe. One thing I know about the Cherokee is that the walls of their winter houses are made of mud and clay. The roofs are made of brush and rivercane. Their summer house is a logcabin. I'm still wondering, how many hunters go in a hunting group?
ReplyDeleteI am studying the Cherokee. They build their house out of mud and clay and the roof is made out of brush cane. I am still wondering what language they speak. I went to Cherokee, North Carolina this summer and met a full blooded Cherokee Indian.
