#1
The American Indians were studied and exploited by European settlers who believed they were the lost tribes of Judah. The Cherokees were particularly distinguished because they were considered the principal people.

The Cherokee women had more rights and power than European women. They decided whom they would marry, and the man built a house for them, which was considered their property.
#3
The Cherokee Shaman was called in to assist with the birth of the fourth child. He warned the mother that a witch was coming from the north, and that the baby would be able to see what others could not.

The Cherokee chief Ridge was a doctor who flew like a raven. He wanted to be a chief among his people, a hunter as expert and respected as his father, a warrior to save his people from enemy Indians and whites. But he believed a mother would not have milk in her tits if it were not intended to be used.
