What children learn in Level 21
- The Muscogee and Cherokee used the resources around them: the things nature gives.
- Deer gave meat, clothing, and bone tools. River cane made baskets, blowguns, and arrows. Clay made pots.
- Trees gave wood for homes, canoes, and fires. Rivers gave water, fish, and a way to travel. The rich soil by the rivers was perfect for farms.
- They adapted to their regions. In the cold mountains, the Cherokee built warm winter houses. Along the rivers, the Muscogee built farm towns.
