  • Southeast relics reveal the forked eye as a Southeast Ceremonial Complex cultural motif of the Mississippian region, once part of the Chickasaw tribal homelands. Members of this widespread system of tribes with similar spiritual beliefs were early artisans who rendered the forked eye to represent beings that lived in an Upper World. They may be bi-forked or tri-forked designs around the eyes, or zigzag lines down the cheeks, suggesting preternatural qualities of watchfulness and power.

  • Sun symbols, also called sun circles, appear as variable designs in the Southeast tribal history. They often include concentric circles, spirals, contain a cross or inverted scalloped lines within a circle.

  • Sweetgrass is the most fragrant of sacred Native American medicinal plants. Its tall stalks sway along shaded streams and grow en masse in spring meadows. Tulip-shaped flowers hang from its stems during the blooming season and its aromatic grasses are harvested in summer. Cut sweetgrass retains its fragrance and purity when dried naturally in the sun. It is then often braided to burn for ceremonially cleansing, used for medicinal teas, or woven into coiled baskets for utilitarian purposes as in earlier ti

  • Water and sun have always been significant aspects of life for tribal people. Rivers provided necessities like river cane and also served as a means of transportation for travel and trade.

  • Stomp dancing is an important aspect of Southeastern tribal culture. Traditionally, the song is sung by men in a call-and-answer format, with the dance rhythm set by the leader’s handheld turtle shell rattle. Women traditionally participate in dance with shakers made from deer toes or box turtle shells. Using turtle shells show respect and gratitude to animals for providing many good things.
