I'm writting a paper for my final and my prof made the case study of a female cherokee. Soooo I'm in need of some information. I am Ojibwe so my knowledge of the Cherokee Culture is limited. What kind of dance styles do you have traditionally?
I was gonna make the client a jingle dress dancer, but I wasn't sure if this would make sense as I'm am completely unaware of the Cherokee culture. Let me know if you know anything

There is a TON of info on cherokee.com. Besides being cherokee, I did do a presentation for my religion class on cherokee spirituality, so i have a lot of stuff from that too. (the class textbook called us a primitive religion i had to respond lol) so if you want more info you can PM me or get me on myspace or something. Myspace is usually the most productive cuz i check that when im still at work. www.myspace.com/usdigvhi

Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.

When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
