In this video Salvatore Vinciguerra brings you to the Cherokee Bonfire located at the Ocanaluftee Island Park in Cherokee, North Carolina.
Sonny Ledford tells the story of the history of the Cherokee people and their society. Sonny Ledford is one of a very elite members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee that has access to indigenous artifacts at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. He is one of the seven original members of the traditional dance group, Warriors of Ani Kituwah. Mr. Ledford also works with the Cherokee Historical Association.
The Cherokee Bonfire is a free evening educational summer program that teaches visitors about the indigenous people that live in the surrounding area. At the end of the session children of all ages can roast marsh mellows in the bonfire while they watch the sunset near the Ocanaluftee River. Next door is a serious of booths with local jewerly makers and craftsmen and women with unique handmade items for sale.
This beautiful experience held only certain days for the week. So please check out the website below for the most current information to see the bonfire when you visit Cherokee, North Carolina.
