In these roles, the group members will look at the history of the Cherokee tribe, the games played in the Native American culture, some of the tribal crafts, and write a journal about what it would be like to live like a Cherokee Indian.

Plan for this project to take 2-3 days. Have all materials in the classroom before you begin the project. The materials will consist of pencils and paper for everyone, enough clay for each student to make a clay pot, and paint and utensils to decorate their work. It may be helpful to have a few parent volunteers to guide the students in the completion of the tasks.
