I was able to find some more items elsewhere in town, but if you're not the kind to hunt around, this place may suffice. This place also has a large exhibit of baskets, woodwork, and other things, with pictures of the artists and an explanation of the traditions and techniques used. A must visit after the museum. 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.

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.

This shop has a great selection of locally made, artisan gifts that support Cherokee makers, and you know it because next to each item that is locally made, there is a description that includes the artist's name and their tribe. This was super helpful in knowing what items to purchase!! The woman working in the shop was so kind, and I found out upon checking out my items that she actually made the turquoise earrings that I bought!! So special to get to meet the maker. I will be proudly wearing the earrings I purchased here and will certainly tell my friends and family to visit Native American Craft Shop when they come for a visit!!
