Signs around town are in English and Cherokee, and the city itself is anchored by the Harrah's Cherokee Casino. The tourist-oriented area is rich in outdoor activities for the entire family.

Unique Gift Outlet is by far the best gift shop in Cherokee. If you are short on time, make sure you visit here first! They have an amazing selection of Cherokee books, jewelry, t-shirts, garden items, candy, souvenirs ----truly something for everyone! The staff is friendly & helpful too.

Native American Craft Shop

Located on the Cherokee Indian Reservation, Native American Craft Shop features the Southeast's largest collection of Native made crafts and art. Cherokee owned and operated.

Reviewed By TheGilmoreGirlz

Not just authentic creations by Cherokee, also turquoise southwestern Indian jewelry and crafts. Diverse collections of baskets, pottery, sculptures, blankets, jewelry, fetishes, soaps and too many others to list here. There are some collectible items like pricey carvings, baskets, painted gourds, and large to small pottery, and the usual modestly priced tourist trinkets. If you look hard and ask some questions, you can find something spectacular or simple - depending on your budget. Very pleased with my stone carved totem by Joel Queen!

Medicine Man Crafts

Authentic local handmade crafts, arts and herbals since 1963

Reviewed By 851judyn

Medicine Man Crafts has been in business for over 50 years and THAT speaks LOUDLY of their abilities. You can find more authentic Cherokee crafts ( carvings, jewelry, baskets) than almost every other shop in Cherokee. Locally owned and operated, every customer is treated with the same enthusiasm and customer service. I have been going there ( and purchasing) for over 40 years. TRY it YOU'LL Like IT!!!! :)

Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual

This cooperative sells Cherokee Indian crafts, such as clay pots and handmade clothes.

Reviewed By 69UsAf73 - Gainesville, United States

This is a coop where all the Native Americans bring their hand made crafts to sell. There is some awesome craafts on display here and worth every penny. The prices may seem high, and they are but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Hand carvings, baskets and jewelry just to name a few. Worth the stop just to enjoy the beauty of this talented craftsman.

Bearmeats Indian Den

Reviewed By 917beare - Atlantic Beach, United States

In this time of made in China junk and typical tourist trap junk, it was a pleasure to enter this charming establishment. David Smith is the owner of Bearmeat's Indian Den. The Arts & Crafts are truly authentic and genuine. They take the time to explain what it is you are getting. The quality is top shelf. The entire staff is extremely friendly and knowledgable. Their mountain apples and cabbage are awesome.We will be returning in the near future.
