While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens, clans
and phratry. Often very little information is known or they no longer
exist. We have included them here to provide more information about the
tribes.
