In the northwest on the Chickamaugan Stomp Ground sits the Deer Clan. Those

tanners and seamers, as well as keepers of the deer medicines. They were
known to be fast runners and foot messengers. The Clan Color for the Ani
Kawi is Brown and their wood is Oak. Their flag is purple with yellow

Theirs was the responsibility to gather, develop, maintain, and teach the
knowledge of relaxation, unconditional love, and of the Deer and it's habitat,
to include it's willingness for total self sacrifice to provide the two legged
ones with food and clothing. The Deer Clan (AniKawi) were known as the keepers
of the deer, deer hunters and trackers, the tanners and seamers. They were
known to be fast runners and were foot messengers on an earthly level, delivering
messages from village to village, or person to person. They also maintained
