Womens gender roles
Gender roles within the Cherokee nation gives the women a lot more freedom and authority in the homes and in farms. The women roles consisted of farming and gathering of edible foods, preparing meals, and the construction of making summer and winter homes while the men were out hunting or in battle. Women roles also consisted of making pots they were used for multiple things, making clothes, and their motherly duties of caring for the children while the men were mostly away from the reservations. The Cherokee women had very important roles in the family life, the economy, and the Cherokee government. Cherokee women could send men off to go to war or they also had the authority to advise peace, but also women could go fight alongside the men and they were called (War Women).
