How do Alabama Indian children live, and what did they do in the past?
They do the same things any children do--play with each other, go to school and help around the house. Many Alabama children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play, just like early colonial children. But they did have beaded dolls, toys and games to play with. Lacrosse was also a popular sport among teenage boys as it was among adult men. Like many Native Americans, Alabama mothers traditionally carried their babies in cradleboards on their backs--a custom which many American parents have adopted now.
