Kituwa (also spelled Kituwah, Keetoowah, Kittowa, Kitara and other similar variations) or giduwa (Cherokee:ᎩᏚᏩ) is an ancient Native American settlement near the upper Tuckasegee River, and is claimed by the Cherokee people as their original town. An earthwork platform mound, built about 1000 CE, marks a ceremonial site here. The historic Cherokee built a townhouse on top that was used for their communal gatherings and decisionmaking; they replaced it repeatedly over decades. They identify Kituwa as one of the "seven mother towns" in their traditional homeland of the American Southeast. This site is in modern Swain County, North Carolina, in the Great Smoky Mountains.

  • Die historische Niederlassung amerikanischer Ureinwohner Kituwah, auch Kituwa, Keetowah, Kittowa, Kitara und ähnliche Schreibweisen oder giduwa (Cherokee:ᎩᏚᏩ), am Ufer des Tuckasegee River wird von den Cherokee als ihre ursprüngliche Siedlung betrachtet. Ein um 1000 n. Chr. aufgebauter Erdhügel (Mound) markiert hier eine zeremonielle Stätte. Für die Cherokee ist Kitowah eine der Sieben Mutter-Städte ihres früheren Heimatlandes im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten. Die Stätte liegt im , North Carolina, in den Great Smoky Mountains. Das heutige wurde in der Nähe von euro-amerikanischen Siedlern aufgebaut, nachdem die Cherokee durch den Indian Removal Act aus der Region vertrieben wurden. 1973 wurde Kituwah wegen seiner Bedeutung in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen.
