Cherokee, Iroquois, and Seminole Eastern American Natives and the Milwaukee Public Museum

The Iroqouis had a complex government system consisting of the following nations:  Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Senaca and they occupied the northeastern part of North America.  The Tuscarora joined the league later making it a six nation confederacy.

The Seminole lived in the southeastern part of America that is now known as Florida and the Cherokee lived in the southeastern part of America that is now known as Georgia, the Carolinas, and East Tennessee.

Here are some displays from the MPM for these people:





















The device in the corner looks like a butter churn from Europe.
