During a recent trip to the Great Smokey Mountains National Park we took a visit to Cherokee. A lot of the town was closed but I had a very nice at Nancy's which sells all sorts of Native American crafts. The store is huge and every inch of space from the front porch into the store is crammed with clothing, dream catchers, pottery, baskets, accessories, hats, shoes, blankets, and bags. I will always remember how I attended a Pow Wow in Florida and the Native American speaker urged support for Native American crafts. He said that if you wanted your dream catchers to work, then they had to be authentically made by Native Americans, Walmart wasn't going to cut it. The dream catchers here, created in every hue of the rainbow, are so authentic that they include a card that tells you the name of the Native American artist who made it. The prices were also at least half of what was being charged at the pow wows I have attended. This is the place to shop if you too are in love with Native American crafts.

To make matters worse, my wife had just spent over $200 in the store, yet they still denied a simple request. The employee who turned us away did so with an attitude and showed no understanding or empathy. I understand that businesses have policies, but there should be room for basic human decency, especially when it comes to a young child. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I cannot recommend this business.

Note: there was a truck selling "fry bread", typical of AZ and NM, and so we took a chance of some Cherokee style fry bread, as the person selling it called it. It's legit.
