dc.description.abstractThis dissertation considers earthwork mounds and the contemporary history of Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma pottery and its production both as land(scape) and an expression of our relationships to land and place. My work is an embodied inquiry of these the relationships between physical Indigenous land and concepts of place specificity as expressed through and imbued in pottery and ancient earthworks. Within this work I also argue that the creation of ancient pottery exemplifies the ways in which our ancestors utilized technological-ecological knowledge and transferred this knowledge to successive generations. My work is guided by my adherence to a critical Indigenous citational practice. It is my position that Indigenous art history must make ‘place’ an imperative part of our narratives and discourse about art and makers as a means of countering mainstream narratives about us.
