Sevens
Traditionally, there were seven Cherokee clans.
Each is shown on this
seven-sided design next
to its name in the
Cherokee language.There were seven counsellors to the chief, and seven
honored women took part
in the government. The council house, where the government met and councils were held was seven-sided. At the center of the house, as in this design, was the sacred
fire that kept burning with seven kinds of wood.
