A NEW Cherokee Tradition!
Kananesgi is the Cherokee word for spider. The spider was chosen because, in Cherokee culture, the spider represents creativity and being good with your hands. Some Cherokee will even run their babies hands through spider webs to embed that creativity into their children.
The first Kananesgi Art Market took place in 2017. It featured one of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' oldest art forms, pottery. The following year, marketplaces were added to include baskets, carving, photography and painting. In 2018 the first Kananesgi Fashion Show was held featuring custom designs and accessories.
