Answer: Southeast

The Cherokee were located close to where the Muskogee Creek and the Clawba were in the Southeast. They were close to the modern day Carolinas and northern Georgia.

Answer: The Mid West

They were located in modern day Michigan between the Great Lakes, Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. There is actually a zoo named after the Patowatomi, which is located in South Bend, Indiana. By 1695 they were living in Wisconsin, near Green Bay, because the French moved in.

After the Iroquois were driven out of the southern Michigan area by the French, the Patawatomi moved back around the southern point of Lake Michigan and into Indiana. One group of the Patawatomi settled near the Jesuit Mission by the St. Joseph River.
