The Creek and Cherokee lived all over Georgia. The Cherokee lived mostly in the North part of Georgia and the Creek lived mostly in the middle and south part of Georgia. 

                     Most clothing came

from animal skins but some were made from hemp plants.   

Some of the same animals, such as deer,  the Creek and Cherokee hunted for food were used for their clothing. In addition, portions of the headdresses worn were made from porcupine hairs.

The Creek and Cherokee were farming people. The main food grown and eaten by the Cherokee and Creek was know as the “Three Sisters"; corn, beans, and squash.  Besides these foods the Cherokee and Creek grew many other foods such as sweet potatoes, sunflowers, and potatoes, and pumpkins.
