Where did the Cherokees
live?
Cherokees lived in an
interesting place. They live in
the South East. They lived in
the states Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Tennessee, and
Kentucky. Other tribes other
then the Cherokees lived in
this area too. There were
lots of forests around this
area. There were also lots of
animals such as raccoons,
wolves, mountain lions, deer,
bison, and lots others like
birds. So I feel that the
Cherokees lived in a pretty
good place.

What Food Did The Cherokees
Eat?
Would you always want to
eat animals? I wouldn`t,
but the Cherokees did.
Since the men did the
hunting they hunted and
fished. They hunted deer,
basin, raccoons, and much,
much more. The Cherokees
wouldn`t always eat meat.
They also made and ate a
food called bean bread. I
learned that all the food
was mostly meat instead of
plants.

What kind of house did
Cherokees live in?
Could you imagine living in
different houses? Well, the
Cherokees could. They had
lots of different types of
houses. One kind of house
were Wigwams. Wigwams
were small, and around 810 ft. tall. It consisted a
wooden frame covered with
large pieces of birch bark.
They were the type of
dwelling. They built the
dwelling from materials
they found. So I think the
houses were pretty easy to
make.

What Work Did The Men and
Women Do?
If you were a child back with the
Cherokees would you like to work
a lot? Well, I sure wouldn`t, but
the they did it anyway. Men and
women had lots of special jobs
back then. The men were
responsible for the chores and
duties away from home. So they
hunted the food. The women
were responsible for the family`s
daily needs. So they cleaned the
house, and cooked food. The
children were aloud to explore
and play, but also expected to
learn skills they would need as
adults. I learned that the
Cherokees had very important
jobs.

What Was Their Music Like?
Cherokees had very
interesting music. Music
was a very common feature
of life for the Cherokees.
Not all songs had words.
Some consisted of a series
of sounds made by the
voice. Other music
consisted of rhythmic
drumming accompanied by
singing. I learned that the
Cherokee`s music was a
very common feature.

What Games Did They Play?
Cherokees played lots of
really fun games. Their
games were different types.
Like running, wrestling, and
playing ball. Some other
games were purely for fun,
but others were for skill.
The most popular game
played was lacrosse. The
Cherokees played games of
chance which are similar to
modern dice games. I
learned that the Cherokee`s
games were of different
types.

What Type Of Clothing Did They
Wear?
Would you like it if you
always wore homemade
clothing? Well, I`m not really
sure if the Cherokees cared.
In the rain the Cherokees
would sometimes wear a
deerskin cloak or a woven
poncho so they could stay
dry. In the summer for the
men, and boys the breed
cloth was the most common
item. Sometimes women
wore a wrap-around skirt or
tunic made of tanned
deerskin. So I think that all
of the clothing were really
helpful to the Cherokees.
