This colorful, beautifully illustrated little booklet gives a delightful, brief insight into the seven clans of the Cherokee and some interesting tidbits of historical information concerning the laws, customs and social organization of the tribe. There is also a suggested reading list in the back.

VALUABLE TO CHEROKEE HISTORY, Jan 11 2006
By Kenneth Johnson "FL_SHAMAN" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Seven Clans of the Cherokee Society (Paperback)
This book, although brief and sometimes vague, does give a wonderful view inside of how Cherokee society used to be.The book doe not tell you much about anything of any great detail. And, I was hoping that it would separate each clan out better. Yet, where it failed there it made up for in explaining Cherokee culture, Cherokee law, and explaining where problems originated from when Cherokees first met outsiders.
This is a great book to keep on hand to give someone interested in Cherokee culture. It is just enough to make the reader to want to learn more. More over, it is a fascinating, though small, snipit of Cherokee history and cultural preservation.

This review is from: Seven Clans of the Cherokee Society (Paperback)
This book is short, concise, easy to read and a great thumbnail sketch of the clans and their functions.I highly recommend it, as the information is the best I have found. It is suitable for any age and clearly written and an excellent tool to get up-to-date information on ancient wisdom(s)...
Thank you, thank you Marcelina Reed!
William Taylor's drawings were surreal in a multi-dimensional way - took me there!
