How do Shawnee Indian children live?

They do the same things any children do–play with each other, go to school and help around the house. In the past, Shawnee kids had more chores and less time to play, just like early colonial children. But Shawnee children did have dolls, toys and games, like miniature bows and arrows and hand-held ball games. Like many Native Americans, Shawnee mothers traditionally carried their babies in cradleboards on their backs–a custom which many American parents have adopted now. What were men and women’s roles in the Shawnee tribe? Shawnee men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families. Shawnee women were farmers and also did child care and cooking. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. In the past, Shawnee principal chiefs were always men, but either a man or a woman could be a village chief. What were Shawnee homes like? The Shawnees didn’t live in tepees. They lived in small round dwellings called wikkums, or wigwams. H
