Hands of the Turtle Nation

Upon the turtle’s ancient shell,
Four hands in colors softly tell,
Of earth, of kin, of spirits near,
Of bonds unbroken, year by year.

May every palm, from dawn to night,
Give more than take, bring more than fight,
Shape hope from clay, let kindness grow,
And heal the wounds we used to know.

We weave the thread, we mend, we tend,
In every stranger, find a friend,
For under moon, sun’s gentle light,
We are all related, bound in right.

The turtle walks, the feathers sway,
Carrying our prayers along the way,
That hand in hand, through time and tide,
We keep the sacred flame alive.

❤️I think you will be proud to wear this T-shirt"

In Cherokee culture, women held significant positions and enjoyed certain privileges and responsibilities.Women in Cherokee society were considered equals to men and could earn the title of War Women. They had the right to participate in councils and make decisions alongside men. This equality sometimes led outsiders to make derogatory remarks, such as the accusation of a "petticoat government" by the Irish trader Adair.
Clan kinship was matrilineal among the Cherokee, meaning that family lineage and inheritance were traced through the mother's side. Children grew up in their mother's house, and maternal uncles held the role of teaching boys essential skills related to hunting, fishing, and tribal duties.
Women owned houses and their furnishings, and marriages were often negotiated. In the event of a divorce, a woman would simply place her spouse's belongings outside the house. Cherokee women had diverse responsibilities, including caring for children, cooking, tanning skins, weaving baskets, and cultivating fields. Men contributed to some household chores but primarily focused on hunting.
Cherokee girls learned various skills by observing and participating in their community. They learned story, dancing, and acquired knowledge about their heritage. Women were integral to the Cherokee society, and their roles played a central part in the community's functioning and adaptation to changing circumstances.

Under the Turtle’s Shield
Upon the shell of the ancient one,

The Turtle listens,
its heart as old as the first dawn,
its back strong as the mountains,
its spirit wide as the oceans.
“Do not fear,” it whispers,
“I carry you across rivers of sorrow,
I shelter you beneath feathers of peace,
I guard your dreams beneath the stars.”
Every child matters—
each laugh a sacred song,
each tear a seed of tomorrow.
And the Turtle, eternal,
walks on,
with the weight of the world
and the lightness of children’s hope
safe upon its back.
