Story of the Old-Time Indians, Cherokees
When the Cherokees first began arriving in the territory, there was no kerosene or other fuel. They built log houses in which to live. Log houses that had no floor—just the ground. The light they had came from the pine tree. They loved the pine trees and took care of them because they provided light in the houses at night. They build a fire inside the house on the ground to keep warm during the cold, winter nights. The smoke escaped through a hole in the center of the roof.
They made their clothing out of leather or deer hides. They dried the hides and rubbed them to make them soft—soft as cloth material. They also made shoes from the deer hides. They made tall ones that were very durable. The men could hunt all day in the boots without the water soaking through to their feet. The boots were extremely fine, these boots that were made by Cherokee Indians. They were also beautifully crafted. They were made both for children and adults. The men made their shoes; the women made their shoes and the shoes for their children. The name of these shoes was tsu tsa wo di.
That was the name. That is all.
