project details
The exhibit is named after an actual location in western North Carolina where many Cherokee towns and homes once prospered. The mannequins, a husband and wife, were modeled after real-life Cherokees and are shown outside a waddle and daub summer home. The man’s leggings and loin cloth were made by Atta, as well as the woman’s wrap skirt with ribbon and bead detailing.
