Klappentext

Did you know that Cherokee women owned property and held a role in government, until the US government forced the Cherokee to change their way of life? In this accessible introduction, learn about the Cherokee creation story, government, ceremonial dances, housing, and how many efforts, like the Trail of Tears, drove them from their original lands.

Expertly reviewed by a member of the Cherokee Nation, this updated edition provides the most up to date and accurate information on the Cherokee people of the past and present. Historical information is accompanied by a section on modern life.
