Caption: Close Up of Oconostota, a Cherokee Chief
Additional Description: By the early 1600s, the Cherokee inhabited the areas that now encompass eastern Tennessee, northern Georgia, northwestern South Carolina, and western North Carolina. With the arrival of white settlers, the Cherokee adapted their way of life, taking up many European ways. These included cloth clothing, living in log cabins, and learning new ways of agriculture. They learned English and shared with their new neighbors their tales and legends.
