There are only two bird species in the sub-order Acanthisitti. They are known as New Zealand wrens. The sub-order Tyranni are also known as the suboscines. Many of these birds are found in tropical areas.
The Cherokees originally lived in the American southeast region, particularly Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
The Cherokees who lived in the northwestern corner of Alabama called the river that flowed through their territory âUnashayâ â the âSinging Riverâ. âThey believed a muse lived in the river and sang songs to them.â The legend seems to have inspired a man in North Alabama to build a rock wall in tribute to his Cherokee ancestor.
