Blue Ridge Parkway
Cherokee, NC

If you are interested in learning about the Cherokee culture, there is no better place to do it than Cherokee, NC. 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 and as you relax against the fire, learn how the slow burning fire will help create a canoe. Many other aspects of the Cherokee Indian culture can also be discovered here; plan to spend more than just hours to enjoy it all.
