Seven Clans of the Cherokee Society

The Cherokees were a dynamic and highly organized nation that developed a complex social structure and had their own written language. Here is a brief look into the traditional Cherokee society of old that was structured around seven clans. Clan names are given in both Cherokee and English with descriptions of power animals, information on the matrilineal system, as well as a breakdown on how their social, political and spiritual infrastructure worked. Includes beautiful full-page color illustrations.
