Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • This exhibition brochure was created to accompany a 1971 solo exhibition of pottery by Cora Wahneta. A member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Cora Arch Wahnetah (1907-1986) was also known Cora Wahyahneetah. The exhibition was organized by Qualla Arts and Crafts, the United States Indian Arts and Crafts Board, and the North Carolina Arts Council. Cora Wahnetah learned the craft of pottery from her mother in the traditional Cherokee way. She used the coil method to form her pots and paddle stamped them. She was active in cultural preservation, working with the Oconaluftee Indian Village to create authentic pottery demonstrations and joining Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual artisan cooperative as a charter member in the 1940s.
