	Catawba Indians: "People of the River" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		The Catawbas settled on the banks of the Catawba--primarily in what is now South Carolina--and built permanent, bark-covered roundhouses in which to live and huge Council Houses for meetings.
		When Europeans arrived in the Carolina Piedmont, the Catawbas remained friendly, but many succumbed over the years to "white man" diseases such as smallpox; by 1826 there were only about 110 Catawbas left, and some of those moved elsewhere.
		This technique is believed to have been used by the Catawbas for up to 4,500 years and apparently pre-dates more familiar pottery-making by tribes in the Southwestern U.S. Perhaps the best-known Catawba potter in recent years was Sara Ayers (1919-2002), whose signed art is some of the most avidly sought by collectors.
