From the cover: "The Catawba Indians are aboriginal to South Carolina, and their pottery tradition may be traced to 2,400 B.C. When Hernando de Soto visited the Catawba Nation (then Cofitachique) in 1540, he found a sophisticated Mississippian Culture. After the founding of Charleston in 1670, the Catawba population declined. Throughout subsequent demographic stress, the Catawba supported themselves by making and peddling pottery. They have the only surviving Native American pottery tradition east of the Mississippi. Without pottery, there would be no Catawba Indian Nation today."

From the cover: "While the Catawba once were the inhabitants of a large swath of land that covered parts of North and South Carolina, after managing to remain in the Carolinas during the notorious Trail of Tears, 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 chronicles Catawba history, such as Hernando de Soto's meeting with the Lady of Cofitachique, 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."

Very brief overview of Catawba history produced by SC Department of Education.

From the cover: "The Catawba Indians: The People of the River, is the first full-length work on this tribe that has been obscured and largely overshadowed by other well-known Indians of America. This history is concerned primarily with the tribes and fragment of tribes of Siouan lineage who inhabited the Catabwa-Wateree-Santee River basin, principally the Catawbas. It traces these Indians from the time the white man first appeared on southeastern shores, ending with the remnant that now lives on The Reservation near Rock Hill, South Carolina. The Catawbas were one of the thirty known tribes of Indians residing in South Carolina. Of these, the four principal stocks were Iroquoian, Algonquian, Muskhogean (Creek), and Siouan. The Catawba Indians gave their name to the headwaters of the river that has been traditionally associated with their home; and two of the tribes which The Nation absorbed, the Waterees and the Santees, are also recalled in the Catawba-Wateree-Santee basin. Constant in their friendship for Americans, the Catawbas fought with them in every war in which this country was involved, except the Yamassee War. Two tangible reminders of this faithful and fearless tribe are the Monument to the Catawbas at Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Camden's effigy to King Hagler, their noblest chief, which serves as a weathervane atop the old city hall."

From the abstract: "The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore how leaders fro the Catawba Indian Nation in the southeastern United States describe their experience interacting with representatives of non-tribal organizations where encultured tribal values-based leadership styles differ from Anglo-American values-based leadership styles."

From the cover: "Upon its original publication in 1989, James Merrell’s definitive history of Catawbas and their neighbors in the southern piedmont helped signal a new direction in the study of Native Americans, serving as a model for their reintegration into American history. In an introduction written for this twentieth anniversary edition, Merrell recalls the book’s origins and considers its place in the field of early American history in general and Native American history in particular, both at the time it was first published and two decades later."

From the abstract: "This research is a continuation of "The Archaeological Survey of the Catawba Indian Reservation" (Kenion and May 1997)... The first objective was to define and map the physical boundaries of the cemetery, as well as the pattern of burials within the cemetery boundaries. The second goal of the project was to correlate as many individual burials as possible with historical tribal members, identifying those interred in unmarked graves or those marked with natural, non-inscribed rock... Finally, the project set about to define connections between the oldest known mortuary traditions of the Catawba and those customs used in this historic burial ground."

From the introduction: "This study was undertaken to provide the Catawba people with a better record and understanding of the cultural activities that were carried out in the Old Reservation Cemetery."
