What was the Cherokee Indians lifestyle?
The Cherokee lifestyle was one very dependent on community. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers/farmers who lived either in earth shelters or log homes. They had a strong sense of national pride and were very concerned about their morals and religious life. It is important to remember that they were also a Matriarchal society (meaning the women owned everything, and the tribal clans followed the womans linage). However the women had no voice (at least publicly). This stayed true to the balance that every member attempted to maintain.
