"The Ruralite" (Sylva, N.C.) for October 8, 1935, ran this article titled “Indian Festival May Be Held in Tourist Season” about the Cherokee Indian Fair in Cherokee, North Carolina, noting that “[i]t was announced on the closing day of the fair that half of the automobiles that entered the fair grounds here were from outside the state.” In 1914 the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians began to hold a fall fair and festival that highlighted agricultural produce, craftsmanship, cultural events, and entertainment. Local newspapers regularly printed articles on the fair’s activities.
