One of the Cherokee Creation Stories and "How the Strawberries came to Be." During the times of the councilhouse (townhouse), the strawberries would be planted around the mound to remind them to not be angry or bitter with one another."
Little Deer was the protector of the deer. The Cherokee hunters were instructed in the ways of hunting the deer and prayed to the Deer Spirit for pardon when they were killed for food.
When first man was created, he lived with the mate Creator gave him. When they began to quarrel, the Creator gave them the strawberry. . .
