June 17, 2008We spent most of the day at the Cherokee Heritage Center. In the museum we saw two exhibits: one on the Trail of Tears and the other on the history of the Cherokee Phoenix, the newspaper published by the Cherokees since 1828.
Next we took the tour of the Ancient Village, which showcases the way a traditional Cherokee community would have looked prior to European contact. We saw demonstrations of canoe building, basket weaving, stickball, bow and arrow construction, blow darts, and more.
