Nununyi

Nununyi was a historic village of the Cherokee people in western North Carolina, located near the present-day city of Cherokee in Swain County. Located near the Cherokee High School, it is believed to be one of oldest of the Cherokee communities on the Oconaluftee River. The community was destroyed in 1776 by North Carolina militia under the command of Col. William Moore as part of a program to drive British-supporting Cherokee from the area in the American Revolutionary War. The main platform mound is still largely intact, although more outlying parts of the town site have been damaged by development.
