The Bear Dance at Oconaluftee Indian Village The bear dance demonstrates the bear going through all four seasons, including slowing down to collect nuts and berries in the fall and winter. This clip was recorded during the final dance show of the 2024 season, as our staff members were celebrating the completion of a successful season. You’ll see them playing around and having fun, as is customary during Cherokee social dances. We’re grateful for a successful 2024 season and look forward to welco
