went into battle if a war occurred, and the men were the only ones capable of becoming
chief.
The women were the farmers, cooks, and took care of the children.
Both men and women took part in storytelling, art, music, and medicine. In addition,
children sometimes helped the men hunt and helped the women farm.
Students will write important information and description of tribal roles and who within the
tribe is in charge of doing what.
