I have visited Cherokee many times in my life. My family has always enjoyed Unto these hills, SantaLand, and the BearZoo. We also like to visit the shops and visit with the Indians there. I even had the opportunity to dance with them one time. The Cherokees are very friendly, but take a lot of pride in their heritage. I would like to visit Harrah's one day.
