Summary:
This book describes what the Cherokee Indian culture is like. It tells a little bit of their history as well as what kind of houses they lived in, what kind of foods they ate,and what kind of stuff they did for fun.

Personal Reaction:
I thought this book was a great book to read given I've lived in OK my whole life and have never really knew much at all about their Cherokee Indians. This book taught me a few interesting things about the Cherokee Indians and was very interesting to read.

1. Each student could make their own Indian head dress or teepee.
2. We could research a famous Indian and write a report about them.
3. We could take a field trip to a Native American Museum. ( )
