Shawnee

  Valley as early as A.D. 1660.
• But the Iroquois were not willing to share these
  rich hunting grounds and drove the Shawnees away.
  
• As the power of the Iroquois weakened, the
  Shawnee Indians moved back into Ohio from the
  south and the east.
• They settled in the lower Scioto River valley.

Guide to Face Painting
The use of colors might be as follows RED was
the color of war. WHITE was the color of
peace.. BLACK was a "living" color, worn on the
face to prepare for war. GREEN worn under the
eyes was supposed to empower the wearer with
night vision. YELLOW represented death, as it is
the color of "old bones." Care should be taken
not to wear a lot of yellow.

• PINCHING THE BASE
• AND USING A SUPPORT
• To start, pinch your thumbs into the center of a
  ball of clay. Squeeze your thumb on the Inside
  with your fingers on the outside of the pot..
• 2. Place the base in a hollow in the ground, or
  in a bowl shaped vessel which can be rotated
  easily by the potter as the pot is built up.
• ROLLING, BRUSHING, ADDING AND JOINING THE COILS
• 3. To be joined properly, the coils should be
  roughened using a moistened stiff brush..
• 5. Add a coil. one foot or longer, around the
  inside rim of the pot being held in its support.
• 6. The coils must be firmly joined to the pot or
  cracks will appear when the pot dries.

Pottery making continued
PADDLING, SMOOTHING AND SCRAPING THE POT 7. Join
coils in A spiral direction until a rough form of
the pat is made, or until the addition of more
moist coils will cause the pot to slump under the
weight. Paddle the pot to its final form using
a smoothed cobble on the inside of the pottery
wall for support. Paddling helps compress and
strengthen the clay and decorates the outside of
the pot with cord marks. 8. A smooth, flat
scraping tool may be used on the pot to compress
cracks or smooth the pot for more decoration
