Catawba Indian Nation: Treasures in History Review
I am one of the lingering members of an almost extinguished race. Our graves will soon be our only habitations...I pursued the deer for my subsistence, the deer are disappearing, and I must starve. God ordained me for the forest, and my ambition is the shade, but the strength of my arm decays, and my feet fail in the chase. In my youth I bled in battle, that you might be independent, let not my heart in my old age, bleed, for the want of your commiseration. Peter Harris, a plea for U.S. citizenship, 1822
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, who served for nineteen years as the Catawba tribal historian and still works with the tribe, chronicles Catawba history from the fi rst 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 Cofi tachique, 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.
