Abstract:
Amanda Swimmer, of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, lives in the Big Cove community in the Qualla Boundary and creates pottery using ancient techniques. She works without a wheel and is an expert in open-pit-fired pottery. Her pottery style was almost lost in the 19th-century, following the Cherokee Removal. In 1994, she received a N.C. Folk heritage Award for preserving and reviving this pottery tradition.
