Based in tradition and made from locally gathered materials, baskets evoke the lives and landscapes of their makers. Indeed, as Weaving New Worlds reveals, the stories of Cherokee baskets and the women who weave them are intertwined and inseparable. Incorporating written, woven, and spoken records, Hill demonstrates that changes in Cherokee basketry signal important transformations in Cherokee culture. Over the course of three centuries, Cherokees developed four major basketry traditions, each based on a different material--rivercane, white oak, honeysuckle, and maple. Hill explores how the addition of each new material occurred in the context of lived experience, ecological processes, social conditions, economic circumstances, and historical eras. Incorporating insights from written sources, interviews with contemporary Cherokee weavers, and a close examination of the baskets themselves, she presents Cherokee women as shapers and subjects of change. Even in the face of cultural assault and environmental loss, she argues, Cherokee women have continued to take what they have to make what they need, literally and metaphorically weaving new worlds from old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished 1997; Paperback, 440 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49579276796186,"sku":"1604","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1785\/3978\/files\/weavingnewworlds.jpg?v=1750265207"},{"product_id":"how-to-find-identify-arrowheads","title":"How to Find \u0026 Identify Arrowheads","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow to Find \u0026amp; Identify Arrowheads and Other Indian Artifacts of the Southeastern United States by Frank Kenan Barnard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't miss your chance to own this incredibly informative guide with a wealth of illustrations and photographs by the author.

We come out of the earth, and there's something in the earth to cure everything … I don't fix a tonic until I'm sure what's wrong with a person. I don't make guesses. I have to be sure, because medicine can do bad as well as good, and I don't want to hurt anybody.… Maybe it takes some herbs. Maybe it takes some touching. But most of all, it takes faith\"--Vernon Cooper, Lumbee healer. The Lumbee Indian tribe has lived in the coastal plain of North Carolina for centuries, and most Lumbee continue to live in rural areas of Robeson County with access to a number of healing plants and herbs used in the form of teas, poultices, and salves to treat common ailments. The first section of this book describes and documents the numerous plant and herbal remedies that the Lumbee have used for centuries and continue to use today. There are remedies for ailments relating to cancer (external and internal), the circulatory and digestive systems, the heart, hypertension and hypotension, infections and parasitic diseases, asthma, pregnancy, sprains, swellings, and muscle, skeletal and joint disorders, to name just a few. The second portion of this work records the words, recollections and wellness philosophies of living Lumbee elders, healers, and community leaders.

Malinda Maynor Lowery, a Lumbee herself, describes how, between Reconstruction and the 1950s, the Lumbee crafted and maintained a distinct identity in an era defined by racial segregation in the South and paternalistic policies for Indians throughout the nation. They did so against the backdrop of some of the central issues in American history, including race, class, politics, and citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLowery argues that \"Indian\" is a dynamic identity that, for outsiders, sometimes hinged on the presence of \"Indian blood\" (for federal New Deal policy makers) and sometimes on the absence of \"black blood\" (for southern white segregationists). Lumbee people themselves have constructed their identity in layers that tie together kin and place, race and class, tribe and nation; however, Indians have not always agreed on how to weave this fabric into a whole. Using photographs, letters, genealogy, federal and state records, and first-person family history, Lowery narrates this compelling conversation between insiders and outsiders, demonstrating how the Lumbee People challenged the boundaries of Indian, southern, and American identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA project of First Peoples: New Directions in Indigenous Studies; published with the assistance of the Center for the Study of the American South at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished 2010; Paperback, 368 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNC Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49579291476250,"sku":"25807","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1785\/3978\/files\/lumbeeindiansinjimcrowsouth.jpg?v=1750274012"},{"product_id":"native-carolinians-the-indians-of-north-carolina","title":"Native Carolinians: The Indians of North Carolina","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative Carolinians: The Indians of North Carolina\u003cbr\u003eRevised Edition\u003cbr\u003eBy Theda Perdue, Christopher Oakley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Native Carolinians, Dr. Theda Perdue, Atlanta Distinguished Professor of Southern Culture at UNC at Chapel Hill, discusses the history, life-style, and culture of the native people of the region before the arrival of Europeans.
