Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual Co-Op

This cooperative stands out as the premier destination for authentic, certified Cherokee crafts in the area. Visitors consistently praise the impressive variety—from intricate white oak and rivercane baskets to beaded jewelry, wood carvings, and pottery—all displayed thoughtfully with knowledgeable staff to guide you. The primary point of discussion is pricing: while some find pieces very reasonably priced for handmade indigenous art, others consider them expensive, though most agree the quality and authenticity justify the investment.
