Panther Clan – Blue Region

The Panther or Wild Cat Clan (Anisahoni) were also called the Blue Holly Clan in some regions. Members of this clan were able to make special medicines for children and were caretakers of medicinal herb gardens. They became known for a medicine from a bluish colored plant called a blue holly. In addition to teaching the preparation of herbs for food and medicinal purposes, their responsibilities included teaching the members about the panther's habitat. Their color is blue and their wood is Ash.

Bobcat Campsite

The Bobcat rustic campsite is suitable for a tent which sleeps 2 to 4. Located closest to the facilities and fire pit makes this rustic camping option most convenient.

The Panther Clan identified with the Bobcat (Felis rufus) as they shared characteristics: clear vision in darkness, vigilance, suspicion and the ability to survive in solitude. The Cherokee used the bobcat hide for blankets and clothing. Bobcats are found throughout most of the United States with the highest population located in the far western states.
