Caddoan Pottery: Past, Present, and Future
To fulfill tribal cultural and spiritual preservation, Bombardier monitors and inspects archeological digs that take place on land under Caddo jurisdiction.
Bombardier’s presentation will provide a brief survey of Caddoan ceramic traditions, both pre-contact and contemporary, focusing on the interplay between cultural preservation efforts and artistic heritage with innovations by living Caddo artists, such as Raven Halfmoon.
Born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma, Raven Halfmoon learned about ceramics as a teenager from Caddo elders. Her work fuses inherited Caddo pottery techniques, a tradition of making mostly done by women, with her own expressive mark making and contemporary lexicon of symbols. Learn more about her work on view in Raven Halfmoon: Flags of Our Mothers.
