Native
American Pottery - In the Beginning
Pottery, along with basketmaking, is one of the earliest craft activities
of tribal cultures. From Africa to Papua New Guinea, pots were created
for utilitarian purposes. Pots were used for storage, cooking and to
carry seeds and foods. Native American Pueblo societies built pots for
all of these purposes. With
time to create pots of various sizes, Pueblo indians began to add designs
to their creations.
The earliest Pueblo
pottery designs from Native American artisans were thumbprints and corrugations.
Later, colored clay slips were used for painted designs of creatures
and geometric symbols on pots. The designs appear to have been intended
both to honor mythological figures and game, and to satisfy the human
need for beautiful objects.
