Catawba pottery has been the lifeblood of the Catawba Nation for many years, playing a crucial role in sustaining our tribe during difficult times in our history. This cherished practice, which some historians trace back as far as 6000 years, is recognized as the most important cultural practice of the Catawba people. Organizations like the Georgia Harris Foundation continue to support the preservation of this vital tradition.
