Catawba Indian Pottery: The Survival of a Folk Tradition – Thomas J. Blumer – Google Books [LINK]

Posted by

0

With a Foreword by William Harris When Europeans encountered them, the Catawba Indians were living along the river and throughout the valley that carries their name near the present North Carolina-South Carolina border. Archaeologists later collected and identified categories of pottery types belonging to the historic Catawba and extrapolated an association with their protohistoric and prehistoric predecessors. In this volume, Thomas Blumer traces the construction techniques of those documented ceramics to the lineage of their probable present-day master potters or, in other words, he traces the Catawba pottery traditions. By mining data from archives and the oral traditions of contemporary potters, Blumer reconstructs sales circuits regularly traveled by Catawba peddlers and thereby illuminates unresolved questions regarding trade routes in the protohistoric period. In addition, the author details particular techniques of the representative potters— factors such as clay selection, tool use, decoration, and firing techniques— which influence their styles.

The Catawba—one of the few Native American communities who remained in the Carolinas after the notorious Trail of Tears—have a rich and fascinating history that can be dated to 2400 BC. Once the inhabitants of a large swath of land that covered parts of North and South Carolina, most Catawba now live on a reservation in York County, South Carolina. In Catawba Nation: Treasures in History, Thomas J. Blumer seeks to preserve and present the history of this resilient people.Blumer chronicles Catawba history from the first contact with Spanish explorers to their present-day fame as makers of traditional Catawba pottery. In this collection of writings, we learn of Hernando de Soto’s meeting with the Lady of Cofitachique, the leadership of Chief James Harris and the fame of potter Georgia Harris, who won the National Heritage Award for her art. Using an engaging mix of folklore, oral history and historical records, Blumer weaves an accessible history of the tribe, preserving their story of suffering and survival for future generations.

The migration of Scotch-Irish, German, Swiss, Dutch and French immigrants to the Catawba Frontier began around 1750, some coming during the 1740’s. At the time this migration began, the area west of the Catawba River was a wilderness. Only a few white men had ventured to come west of the South Fork River. The few who dared to brave the dangers of a pathless forest land were trappers and hunters It was a land, beautiful in its primitive state; and it was a land which filled with awe the white man who found himself a stranger to its solitude. It was a region with fertile soil for farming, wild game for hunting, fish filled streams for fishing and an abundance of timber and wood for erecting a cabin, providing heat, and, for cooking. If the pioneer was awed by the silence of its forests and frightened by its existing dangers, he found comfort in knowing there were available resources for building a home and providing food for his family.

Former Catawba Indian Chief Gilbert Blue, who ‘saved’ tribe, dies following illness | The Herald -(EXCERPT)

CATAWBA INDIAN RESERVATION Gilbert Blue, the legendary former Catawba Indian Chief who was the driving force behind the tribe getting recognition by the United States government and South Carolina, died Saturday. He was 82.Tribal spokesperson Elizabeth Harris confirmed Blue’s passing late Saturday. Harris said that Blue had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, according to his family, who was with him when he died at the reservation.

The Catawbas, with a reservation in York County, are the native inhabitants of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas and have been in the area for millennia. Yet when Blue took over in 1973, the tribe was in disarray. Through Blue’s forceful leadership and strength in dealing with both state and federal governments, the tribe gained recognition status in 1993 with its landmark land settlement.

That was dawning on me. You’re the lady with the extremely rare coincidence of possibly two surnames on the extremely small list of surnames “definitely known to be Saponi (VA/NC Siouan).” (Bolin and Guy (Gay a ready variant), and two more names that occur in families believed to be Saponi (Parker, Williams). If we can dig more into this locale, who knows what we’ll find?

I should have stated at the outset that by no means do ALL VA/NC Siouan descendants carry the Blackfoot ID.

This is the “short” list of Saponi (generic for NC/VA Siouan) names, the names that trace back to tribal people documented while the tribe still had treaty relations with the colonial government (very early 18th century):

The Catawba— also known as Issa or Esaw or Iswä but most commonly Iswa (Catawba: iswa – “river”) — are a federally recognized tribe of Native Americans, known as the Catawba Indian Nation. They live in the Southeast United States, along the border of North Carolina near the city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Catawba were once considered one of the most powerful Southeastern Siouan-speaking tribes in the Carolina Piedmont. The Catawba and other Siouan peoples are believed to have coalesced as individual tribes in the Southeast. Living along the Catawba and Wateree River, which they called both iswa (“river”), they called themselves therefore Kawahcatawbas (“the people of the river”).

History of the Catawba people

From the earliest period, the Catawba have also been known as Esaw, or Issa (Catawba iswä, “river”), from their residence on the principal stream of the region. They called both the present-day Catawba and Wateree rivers Iswa. The Iroquois frequently included them under the general term Totiri, or Toderichroone, also known as Tutelo. The Iroquois collectively used this term to apply to all the southern Siouan-speaking tribes.
