It seems that a funeral was being held and some old friends had met and were talking about past times and events. That is one of the positive things that comes out of funerals; relatives and old friends often see each other for the first time in years. The question was asked, “Why do we wait for times like this before getting together and reliving old memories? Another question followed. “Why not have a reunion of the old cotton mill employees?” The idea and suggestion fell on fertile soil and began to take root. Even at that time, the old mill had been closed for years and many of those who had given their best years to it had already gone on to their eternal resting place. Of course, some, who had been younger when the mill closed, had moved away in search of employment. Some found work right here at home.

  • Catawba Militarism: Ethnohistorical and Archaeological Overviews
    CATAWBA MILITARISM: ETHNOHISTORICAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL OVERVIEWS by Charles L. Heath Abstract While many Indian societies in the Carolinas disappeared into the multi-colored fabric of Southern history before the mid-1700s, the Catawba Nation emerged battered, but ethnically viable, from the chaos of their colonial experience. Later, the Nation’s people managed to circumvent Removal in the 1830s and many of their descendants live in the traditional Catawba homeland today. To achieve this distinction, colonial and antebellum period Catawba leaders actively affected the cultural survival of their people by projecting a bellicose attitude and strategically promoting Catawba warriors as highly desired military auxiliaries, or “ethnic soldiers,” of South Carolina’s imperial and state militias after 1670. This paper focuses on Catawba militarism as an adaptive strategy and further elaborates on the effects of this adaptation on Catawba society, particularly in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While largely ethnohistorical in content, potential archaeological aspects of Catawba militarism are explored to suggest avenues for future research. American Indian societies in eastern North America responded to European imperialism in countless ways. Although some societies, such as the Powhatans and the Yamassees (Gleach 1997; Lee 1963), attempted to aggressively resist European hegemony by attacking their oppressors, resistance and adaptation took radically different forms in a colonial world oft referred to as a “tribal zone,” a “shatter zone,” or the “violent edge of empire” (Ethridge 2003; Ferguson and Whitehead 1999a, 1999b). Perhaps unique among their indigenous contemporaries in the Carolinas, the ethnically diverse peoples who came to form the “Catawba Nation” (see Davis and Riggs this volume) proactively sought to ensure their socio- political and cultural survival by strategically positioning themselves on the southern Anglo-American frontier as a militaristic society of “ethnic soldiers” (see Ferguson and Whitehead 1999a, 1999b).

    DEFENDING AND PROVISIONING THE CATAWBA NATION: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE MID-EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY COMMUNITIES AT NATION FORD Mary Elizabeth Fitts A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: C. Margaret Scarry R.P. Stephen Davis Brett H. Riggs Silvia Tomášková Margaret Wiener Kathleen DuVal © 2015 Mary Elizabeth Fitts ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARY ELIZABETH FITTS: Defending and Provisioning the Catawba Nation: An Archaeology of the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Communities at Nation Ford (Under the Direction of C. Margaret Scarry) In the mid-eighteenth century, several Catawba communities were situated near Nation Ford, where the main trading path that traversed the southern Appalachian Piedmont crossed the Catawba River. Men from these communities had adopted a militaristic strategy of serving as auxiliaries for the English colonies. The alliance between the Catawba Nation and South Carolina, in particular, precipitated a set of processes that transformed the conditions of daily life near Nation Ford. Two of these processes were settlement aggregation and the incorporation of native refugee communities. In this dissertation I consider whether the political process of centralization through which refugees were incorporated into the Catawba Nation was accompanied by parallel changes in economic organization, particularly with regard to foodways. I also examine the impacts of settlement aggregation on the formulation of community identities and the farming and foraging practices of Catawba women. In addressing these topics, I consult primary documents to assess the character of the alliance between the English colonies and the Catawba Nation, and to trace the development of the Catawba’s role as auxiliaries.

  • Mapping Catawba Coalescence
    MAPPING CATAWBA COALESCENCE by Mary Elizabeth Fitts Abstract The disciplinary boundary between archaeology and ethnohistory is both created by and promotes the use of different sources of information to learn about American Indian history during the time of European contact and colonization. Such a segregation of practice limits the range of questions asked concerning the social and political transformations that took place during this time. I combine information from documentary sources, spatial analysis, and ten pottery assemblages to examine the process of Catawba coalescence from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth centuries. In the sixteenth century, political interaction existed between Catawba valley Mississippian peoples and groups living downriver in the Wateree region, but two different communities of potters seem to have lived in these areas. As the fur trade intensified during the seventeenth century, the trail that linked the lower Catawba valley peoples to the Virginia colony came to replace the river as the favored resource near which new settlements were established. Refugees and Iroquois raiders both traveled this trail, and contributed in different ways to the character of the political organization created by members of the Catawba confederacy in the early eighteenth century. All narratives have beginnings. In discourses about the past, the narrative need for beginnings and the seeming existence of beginnings often become intertwined. While the role of narrative in the construction of history has been carefully scrutinized (e.g., White 1987), the idea of origins remains central to most backward-gazing disciplines. Archaeologists in particular are famous for chasing these moving targets. For ethnohistorians, the concept of ethnogenesis (Sturtevant 1971) has served as a tool for defining the circumstances surrounding the origins of corporate social identities.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Kathleen DuVal Theda Perdue Malinda Maynor-Lowery Brett H. Riggs Harry Watson © 2016 Brooke Michele Bauer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Brooke Michele Bauer: Being Catawba: The World of Sally New River, 1746-1840 (Under the direction of Kathleen DuVal and Theda Perdue) This dissertation analyzes a segment of the history of the Catawba Indian Nation of South Carolina by concentrating on how Catawba women in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries created, promoted, and preserved a Catawba identity through kinship, land ownership, and economic productivity. Catawba kinship, land, and pottery were and are the most important distinguishing attributes of being Catawba. Each of the three aspects are interconnected with land serving as the foundation upon which Catawba people formed a nation through their kinship connections and as a space where Catawba women collected clay for pottery. Whereas scholarship on the Catawbas has stressed dramatic transformation, focusing on the lives of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Catawba women reveals startling continuities in Catawba ways of being. This dissertation tells a story of Catawba women’s lived experiences and their adaptive responses to the immense change occurring in their world by focusing on their economic, political, and social relationships. iii In honor of the Catawba women of my family and in memory of my uncle, Wayne George.

    The Tuscarora Migration in 1713 and 2013: Re-enactment and Revitalization By Paris Deirdre Harper (Under the Direction of Don Nelson) Abstract The focus of this study is the development of the 2013 Tuscarora Migration Project, a three-hundred mile backpacking trip from the Tuscarora’s precontact territory in North Carolina all the way to their home in New York. Tuscarora history has often been expressed in terms of defeat and cultural decline. To the contrary, the 2013 Migration Project not only serves to celebrate the Tuscarora’s survival, but it also has the potential to decolonize Tuscarora history in a way that affirms the present and the future of the community. My study considers how the Migration Project is both an agent and reflection of revitalization for the Tuscarora Nation. My objective is to contribute to the community’s ongoing historical research with an extensive annotated bibliography of primary sources, while also documenting the prevailing attitudes and opinions about life in a Nation undergoing change.

Make your reservations now. Queens College Rediscovered Most of us are familiar with the name “Queens College” and many of us know that there was a school by that name in Colonial Mecklenburg County. That early Queens College was not connected in any way with the present-day Queen’s University in Myers Park or with College Street in uptown Charlotte. The first Queens College was founded by an act of the Colonial Assembly in 1771 and was long gone before the modern Queen’s came on the scene in 1913. What we knew about the original Queens College came primarily from laws passed by the Colonial Assembly. We knew that an act was passed in 1771 establishing Queens College and that Royal Governor William Tryon signed the act and sent it with his strong recommendation to the Board of Trade in England. They presented it to King George III for his approval but the King disallowed the bill, perhaps because he thought it would be a training ground for dissenting (Presbyterian) ministers. When the news of the disallowance reached the Colony in 1773, the college continued operating but changed its name to Queens Museum.
