Misc
**Gadugi** is a term used in the [|Cherokee language] which means "working together" or "cooperative labor" within a community. Historically, the word referred to a labor gang, of men and/or women, working together for projects such as harvesting crops or tending to gardens of elderly or infirm tribal members. The word Gadugi was derived from the [|Cherokee] word for "bread", which is Gadu. Gadugi is the name of a font included with Microsoft Windows 8 that includes support for the Cherokee language along with other languages of the Americas such as [|Inuktitut]. - []
