  Traditionally, there were seven Cherokee clans.           each is shown on this seven-sided design next to
  its name in the Cherokee language. There were           seven counsellors to the chief, and seven honored       women took part in the government. The council           house, where the government met. and were held         was seven-sided. At the center of the house, as in        this design, was the sacred fire that kept burning
  with seven kinds of wood.


NO. 445 CHEROKEE - Gold  was discovered here in 1853   by the Scott brothers, descendants of Cherokee Indians.
Scars of placer 'diggins' in every little arroyo in Cherokee Valley, healed     over by Mother Nature, were later replaced by a quartz mine. Present-day     productive farms in this area   were once rich placer grounds. Location:
