About the Cherokee housing and tranportation

Cherokee houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs.  The Cherokees also built larger seven-sided buildings for ceremonial purposes, and each village usually had a ball field with benches for spectators. Many Cherokee villages had reinforced walls  around them for protection. 

The Cherokee Indians used to make long dugout canoes from hollowed-out logs. Over land, the Cherokees used dogs to help carry supplies.
