EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1888, we are transported to the Qualla Reservation in North Carolina, where two Cherokee women engage in the ancient craft of pottery-making. The image showcases a Cherokee mother and her adult daughter as they skillfully shape pots out of clay, their hands moving with precision and expertise. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects their cultural heritage, these two women embody the spirit of craftsmanship and dedication to preserving their ancestral traditions. Their focused expressions reveal the deep connection they have with this art form passed down through generations. The late 19th century setting adds an air of historical significance to this snapshot of daily life on the reservation. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by Native American communities during a time marked by immense change and adversity. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to the rich artistic legacy of Cherokee potters. It serves as a testament to their creativity, resourcefulness, and commitment to keeping their cultural heritage alive. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring power of tradition and how it continues to shape our understanding of history today.
