Oconaluftee Indian Village, Cherokee Indian Reservation, Cherokee NC

The Friendship Dance

After the museum and lunch we visited the Indian Village which depicted Cherokee life as it was in 1750.  We saw several handicrafts being practiced, a canoe being burned, watched some dances, listened to oral history and sociology of the tribe and even got to shoot a blow dart.  

Cherokee NC ~ July 4, 2016

After breakfast we headed into town, where we explored the very center on foot and bought our tickets for the theater that evening. Then we proceeded to the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. Where I took no pictures!?  Maybe cameras were not allowed, I don't remember.  The museum was great, sort of a walk through history and had many hands on features which always gets a vote from me and the children.
