Cherokee is a town in Swain County, North Carolina, USA. It is the headquarters for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. It is also a tourist-oriented area, located at the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the site of a Harrahs Cherokee Casino. It is located in western North Carolina on the Oconaluftee River and the Qualla Reservation. An outdoor drama depicting the Eastern Band's story, Unto These Hills, is presented annually during the tourist season.

The town is known in the past for its stereotypical representation of Native Americans. However, in recent years the Tribe has worked hard to overcome this and is currently working on a project to renovate the entire "tourist" area, has given notice to many shops that are considered tacky or fitting into the unwanted stereotype. The Tribe has built many more cultural centers. Although many of the stereotypical representations of Native Americans still exist in the "tourist trap" stores, these will soon be gone, to be replaced by a more tasteful atmosphere of celebration of the native culture and peoples. The Tribe has plans to build new, state of the art schools and health care facilities, and has taken an interest in preserving the pride of the people.

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Parkway and All American Road in the United States, noted for its scenic beauty. It runs for 469 miles, mostly through the famous Blue Ridge, a major mountain chain that is part of the Appalachian Mountains. Land on either side of the road is maintained by the National Park Service. It is the longest, narrowest National Park in the world and is the most visited unit in the United States National Park System. In many places, the park is bordered by land protected by the United States Forest Service.

The Eastern Cherokee Indian Reservation (officially known as the Qualla Boundary) is located in western North Carolina, just south of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
