Both the Creek and Cherokee people used canoes to travel on the water. They took logs and hollowed them out. These are what their canoes were made of. Canoes could be different sizes. Some of them held just two people. Big ones held twenty people or even more.

They used dogs to carry things for them. Once the white settlers brought horses to America, they used horses, too.

The Cherokee had a lot of trails through the forests. Deer and other animals made these trails, and then the Cherokee used them and made them smoother. All of their villages were connected by trails.

Today the Native Americans drive cars and trucks, just like everyone else.
