Abstract:

At the Ocunaluftee Indian Village, in Cherokee, North Carolina, costumes, dwellings, and skills, are demonstrated exactly how they were 200 years ago, when the Cherokee freely roamed the Great Smokey Mountains. Opened in 1952 and assisted by archaeologists from the universities of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, the living museum has had nearly one million visitors and continues to grow in significance, teaching interested visitors details of Cherokee life prior to relocation and subjugation.
