        How they lived?

Cherokee Indians lived in small communities, usually located in fertile river bottoms. Homes were wooden frames covered with woven vines and saplings plastered with mud. Each village consisted of up to 50 log and mud huts grouped around the town square, called the Council House, where ceremonial and public meetings were held.

 

The Powhatan Indians lived in longhouses. A longhouse is very similar to an apartment building. Each section had a cooking fire and raised platform covered with reed mats or furs for sleeping or sitting.

 

The Choctaws, a great many winters ago, commenced moving from the country where they then lived, which was a great distance to the west of the great river and the mountains of snow, and they were a great many years on their way.
