The Cherokee Nation has a rich and fascinating mythology deeply rooted in the natural world. Stories of the earth's creation, the origin of fire, hunting, and farming all center on the belief that harmony must be maintained between man and nature. Several important spiritual ceremonies are still performed every year by the Cherokee, giving praise to the Great Creator Unetlanvhi.
The Cherokees' cultural practices are strongly tied to their mythology, the creation and animal stories are portrayed through songs, dances, tales, artwork, tools, and even buildings.
