The seven Cherokee clans are found in no other American Indian tribe. They are Wolf (Ani-Wahiya), Bird (Ani-Tsiskwa), Deer (Ani-Kawi), Twister (Ani-Gilohi), Wild Potato (Ani-Gotegewi), Panther (Ani-Sahoni) and Paint (Ani-Wodi). If you are of Cherokee descent you belong to a clan whether you know which one it is or not. Find out about an ancient kinship system that survives to the present day in this illustrated and solidly documented guide by Paint Clan member Donald Panther-Yates, author of Old World Roots of the Cherokee. Each clan has the etymology of its name, related and parent clans, famous representatives in Cherokee history, monuments, art and genealogies.
