They lived in lots of forests. The towns built log houses. Wild grasses were used for the roofs of the mud and grass houses. Cherokee clothes look much like ours. They made it out of animal skin instead.
Cherokee women wove baskets, made clothing, cooked, planted seeds, and harvested the crops.
They also taught girls how to plant, hoe, reap, prepare food, and how to pound corn into flour. Cherokee men hunted deer and bear. Men usually made and repaired their own moccasins. They taught boys how to canoes, bows, arrows, and how to hunt for food. The men also fished and cut down trees.
