Learning about the Cherokee at the County Museum

Today we went on a great field trip to the Lexington County Museum. We learned so much about the Cherokee way of life. We learned about:

• the use of the different type of baskets they made 
• how they made their clothing
• how they made their tools 
• what they hunted
• how they carried their babies with them everywhere they went
• how the women owned everything
• what wild plants they would have gathered and about a plant they used in their fishing basket that made the fish drowsy
• what games they would have played
• the folklore they passed down through the generations
• how the Cherokee like pretty things and how they decorated there things things juice from berries and the burnings from there fire to paint
• and much, much more!!!

This is the 3rd series of classes we have attended. We are enjoying them all so very much:)
