WFES Second Grade Students Visit Oconaluftee Indian Village

 West Fannin’s second grade students visited the  Oconaluftee Indian Village on Thursday, October 15th. The  second grade students saw how the Cherokee Indians  made baskets, pottery, weapons and beading. They also  heard them speak in their native tongue and enjoyed  seeing some of their dances. They visited a replica of a  Council House and learned about the seven clans of the  Cherokee and about the different types of leaders they  had.
