("Native American Homes")
Style of Cherokee Indian Homes
The Cherokee tribe was primarily a stationary, agricultural community, rather than a nomadic tribe. Because they often stayed in one place, their homes were also more permanant than other Indian Tribes who considered themselves to be Nomadic.
The Cherokee Indians built there home in a
Wattle and Daub style. This permanent home
requires a lot of effort to build; it is made by
weaving rivercane, twigs, or vines onto a frame,
then covering the woven materials in mud.
Usually made from bark or thatched grass, was
the last step in building the Wattle and Daub
homes ("Native American Homes").
