Lecture: A Day in the Life of a Sixteenth-Century Ani-Yunwiya (Cherokee) Village Sponsored by the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology.
What was daily life like for Cherokees just at the moment when groups of people from across the Atlantic -- Spaniards and Africans -- started to become part of their world? A tour of one settlement, Cowee, lets audience members understand what Cherokee homes, communities, and networks of communities were like and the kinds of activities that were important to peoples' lives. Each example is based on archaeologically-recovered information as well as community history and knowledge. For more information, visit the website.
