Talking Leaves 441 U.S. Highway 19, Cherokee, NC 28719

"Great place for any visitor looking to learn more about native history or culture, with very in depth literature on all things Cherokee. Highly recommend for any book worms or history buffs passing through."

"Has any and every you would want in this hidden jewel! The store was recommended by a lady at Granny’s Kitchen. On the down side, the older lady behind the counter was unfriendly and acted as if she didn’t want our business."

"The older man was laying down on his chair and his dirty feet up toward customer, looked like too high. No answer the greeting, then I asked to give me discount on wristband, he simply asked me to leave. I wasn’t expecting from such a neighborhood and best told culture."

"Beautiful Native-owned shop! I love that it’s bright and well organized- very simple to figure out how the books are categorized. There’s a great selection / variety of books - a great way to learn more about Native people and their history. They also have some lovely beaded Jewelry and artwork. The owner was very friendly and helpful too! It was great to speak with him :) can’t recommend this place enough! You’re supporting a small native owned business when you’re shopping here and the book selection is fantastic"

"Excellent selection of books! I was able to find several titles that I had been looking for. The children's section was well-stocked, and they had crafting and cookbooks as well. There is something for everyone here!"
