Tennessee Kentucky Northern Alabama Alabama Mississippi and the west of Florida the Cherokee people were hunters and farmers who grew the staple crops of corn beans and squash Cherokee marriages Cherokee marriages were as much between the grandmothers of a clan as between the couple themselves it was not permitted to marry within your own Clan a potential Suitor had to select a young woman

murder punished a Cherokee could marry into any of the Clans except two that to which his father belongs for all of that Clan are his fathers and aunts and that to which his mother belongs for all of that Clan are his brothers and sisters a child invariably inheriting the clan of his mother when a young man had chosen a girl he wished to marry he would kill a deer and bring an offer of deer meat to the home of the girl he was interested in if she chose to marry him she cooked the deer meat and offered it to him if she rejected the deer meat it was assumed to be a denial of this Suitor this courtship required approval of both Clans before courtship could occur Cherokee homosexuality it was only permitted to court one woman at a time although there are examples of polygamy in the ancient culture this practice was not generally engaged in there were also instances of same-sex cohabitation however there was never a concept of same-sex marriage or same-sex courtships there are historical instances of extended families where another male or female would cohabitate with a married couple provided all parties were in agreement including the clan leaders this conduct would be allowed these are the only examples of same-sex relationships known to have existed in ancient times the age of consent for Cherokee young people was typically 15 for girls and 17 for boys but was not a strict

bride had to obtain the approval of her mother's sister or if unavailable her grandmother or great aunt if all parties agreed then the couple was permitted to marry Clan married life once a couple had married they lived with the wife's Clan since any children born to the couple were of the same Clan as the woman her brothers all male relatives typically were responsible for the Social and cultural development of the children it was the wife's male relatives who typically disciplined and taught the children and not the father the father's Clan did have the privilege of choosing the names for the couple's children this was generally done by one of the father's sisters all Clan grandmothers if a woman's husband failed to please her was unfaithful or disgraced her clan she could divorce him by simply placing a deer skin outside of their dwelling and placing his belongings on it at which point he was expected to leave he could return to his own Clan or move in with the unmarried men of her clan originally though the tribes of the Native Americans do not use the traditional way of wearing rings in their weddings they have not worn rings as a symbol of the couple's marriage and lifetime promise for each other this is because the smelting of gold is not a typical doing of the tribes Cherokee menstrual taboos women in their Moon time going through the menstrual cycle should be separated from the community by going to stay in a house built by the community for this purpose they should remain there for the duration of their menstruation women in their Moon time should avoid men they should not be upstream or upwind from them and should never touch them or prepare food for them they should never take part in any Community ceremonies at the end of their bleeding they should be purified by sweating and going to water before re-entering the community this is not disrespective to women in any way quite to the contrary this is done because of our great respect for women and the creative Powers they possess a menstruating woman's presence anywhere in the vicinity of a ritual or ceremony could render it ineffective or could cause some other problem A woman's menstrual cycle is evidence of her creative powers it is a time when they should be careful because of the strong energies they exude myths from the early Europeans about Cherokee tribe the early

pettico government in a traditional Cherokee household the wife owned all property and the children and the husband was always required to obtain her approval on family or Clan matters contrary to
