[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 524226, member: 45"]Look up Pamunkey Pottery, from the Pamunkey tribe, in Virginia. Although the Pamunkey had made a traditional type of pottery, this "style" was introduced in the 1930s as a state-sponsored program, that provided a Pottery School, teachers, and modern techniques of pottery, in an attempt to provide an additional source of income for the tribe. Kilns, glazes, molds, and other non-traditional methods and design patterns were used to produce pottery souvenirs for the market place. Copies of southwestern-style "pictographs" were introduced, in an attempt to re-create "Indian" looking items. It is claimed that some of the students later turned to more "traditional" pottery production, but from what I have ever encountered, this is the modern Pamunkey "style" that resulted from the program, and is still being produced today.[/QUOTE]
