Who is enjoying our novel?
Hi everyone,
What do you think of The Indian in the Cupboard so far?
Who can find out more about the Iroquois tribe? Did you know that each longhouse was named after a bird or animal?
The native Americans have symbols and the turtles is the most important one because it represents strength and patience. Who can find out what other symbols there are? Maybe you could make up some of your own symbols and create an alphabet. Then you could have a secret code with your friends.

The Iroquois tribe were a group of five tribes in the North Eastern United States. The names of the tribes were the Onandaga, Oneida, Mohawk, Cayuga and the Seneca. They were a powerful group of tribes that played a big part in early American history.
The Iroquois tribe were known for their longhouses. These were shared by multiple families. In the longhouses they built a common room at the end of house, which all families shared. The longhouses had a corridor in the middle and then there were rooms along it where their different families had a room each.
