Oconaluftee Indian Village

Oconaluftee Indian Village is an authentic, working Cherokee Indian Village. Step back in time to 1750 to watch a potter making and firing pottery using the methods that have been used for 3,000 years; a canoe being made the traditional Cherokee way by burning away the center of the log into dug out form; and the sharpening of arrowheads and blades. Be sure to visit the dancing grounds and see the drumming, song and dance, as well as the Council House, where the clans gathered. Guests can participate in “Hands On Cherokee” and create their own handicrafts, such as pottery, finger weaving, baskets and beadwork.
