Cherokee, NC

If you are interested in learning about the Cherokee culture, there is no better place to do it than Cherokee, North Carolina. Visit the Oconaluftee Indian Village and make your own arrowheads as you learn about the different tribes. Women of the village will show you their original beadwork. As you relax against the fire, learn how the slow-burning fire will help create a canoe. Many other aspects of the Cherokee culture can be discovered here; plan to spend more than just a few hours to enjoy it all.
