In ancient times, the Dida:hnvwi:sgi (deed-ah-hnew-wee-sss-gee), the healers and medicine men, and the Adawehi (odd-ah-wee-hee) or wizards came from the Ani Wodi clan. They were most famous for making red paint used in ceremonies, for war paint, or sacred rituals and they made the red dyes used in clothing and costumes. Only the Ani Wodi were allowed to make this special red paint or dye. Curiously,although today their flag is black with red stars, their traditional color is white and their wood is locust. The wood of each clan is important for their sacred fires. The Ani Wodi were typically the keepers of the sacred fire. An Ani Wodi priest typically was allowed to create a fire lit from the sacred fire. Fire was believed to signify the separation of man from the animals. Paint Clan ceremonial mask If a ceremony called for “magic” or illusion or intrigue, the Ani Wodi were the masters at setting it up and the tools needed to carry it off. They were reputed to have extrasensory perception capable of seeing things hidden to others like visions of the future or events that might happen far away. The Red Paint or Paint Clan were also known as the "Corn People". They were responsible for teaching the knowledge of life, birth, death and regeneration. As I mentioned in Part 5, The Bird Clan, many Cherokee descendants no longer know their clan. Also, since the clan is passed down by the mother, if a Tsalagi (Cherokee) man married a white woman, his children would have no clan. There are currently attempts to restore the clan tradition to all Tsalagis.

A few more photos of the flowers found at the Dallas Arboretum. The Cherokee Rose was given it's name because the Cherokee Indians were thought to have cultivated this 'wild white rose' . The plant is actually native to China and was probably introduced in 1759 probably by an English planter (plantation owner). Sometime thereafter, both the Cherokee and settlers planted the roses around their homes. In 1804, Thomas Jefferson noted in his journal for the 29th of April, 'planted seeds of the Cherokee rose from Govr. Milledge (John Milledge of Georgia)'. The Cherokee rose is found from North Carolina south into Florida and west into Texas.
