Food
Cherokee are best known for corn, beans, and squash known as the "The Three Sisters". Those were their staple food for many, many years in addition to turkey, non-poisonous plants and roots of the forest, berries, potatoes, pumpkin, fish, soup, cornbread, and popcorn. Today, traditional foods include wild onions and eggs, brown beans, kanvsti, and grape dumpling. As you can see, the Cherokee really really liked foods.
