Description

The 21st-century town of Cherokee sparkles with brand new architecture, a bustling shopping district, and a large number of tourist attractions. Beneath its progressive exterior is an ancient native land where Cherokee people once lived in villages that occupied parts of eight brand new states. They hunted game along steep mountainsides and planted fields of corn, squash, and beans, referred to as the “Three Sisters,” along rivers and streams. The Cherokee who now live in western North Carolina are descended from folks that didn’t trip the “Trail of Tears” but remain on a portion in their original native land. These days, the Eastern Band of Cherokee is a sovereign nation. The tribe works to preserve its language and culture through the promotion of heritage destinations. Sited on the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway, Cherokee is home to the Oconaluftee Indian Village, Unto These Hills, Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, and Museum of the Cherokee Indian.
