  11. I learned lots of cool facts today! These are some of them. The Cherokee were farmers. They grew corn, tobacco, and other crops! They also had winter houses and summer houses. The winter houses were small and round, the summer houses were big and square. The Iroquois had a large population their houses were very nice houses made from elm tree. There were no trees so the men would hunt buffalo. One man made 5 Iroquois tribes unite. The Pueblo made their houses out of adobe.

  13. The cherokee had two different houses, they had winter and summer. The winter one was smaller. The Indians should have been called natives. 50 people in the tribes were like a governemtn and they set a good example and they would plan out stuff and tell when they would have war. The great plains indians lived in grass lands and they are hunters too, even the women. The pueblo made stoves out of adobe clay. And the great plains indian brought jerky from buffalo. I want to learn more about the mohawk and the cherokee, their language and what they used to signal their people and what their weapons were.
