The 21st-century town of Cherokee sparkles with modern architecture, a bustling shopping district, and numerous tourist attractions. Beneath its progressive exterior is an ancient homeland where Cherokee people once lived in villages that occupied parts of eight modern states. They hunted game along steep mountainsides and planted fields of corn, squash, and beans, known as the "Three Sisters," along rivers and streams. The Cherokee who now live in western North Carolina are descended from those who did not travel the "Trail of Tears" but remain on a portion of their original homeland. Today, 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 at 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.

Industry Reviews

"The book acknowledges those institutions and organizations that have saved -- and continue to preserve -- historic photographs. Images of America: Cherokee includes photographs from formal collections held by Cherokee's key cultural partners -- Cherokee Historical Association, Museum of the Cherokee Indian, and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual -- as well as collections by regional and national institutions, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Hunter Library Special Collections at Western Carolina University, State Archives of North Carolina, and Smithsonian Institution." Smoky Mountain News

"Old photographs, like this one, are important as they capture the fading presence of old buildings and the changing personality of a community's cultural landscape."" Smoky Mountain News
