amazing detail

Talked a lot about the way, traditional pottery, basket tree, weaving, beadwork, and crafts that Cherokee did not only to be able to support their families, but now to be able to share with the world of beauty of being able to make things by hand and not letting those traditions die outwith the assimilation into white culture after the tears

all words no depictions

completely misleading, should say read only about arts and crafts of the cherokee. would have been nice to see the craftsmanship instead of reading about it
