Lucy
Nola
George
(1897-1978)
was a
well-known
Cherokee
basket
weaver
who

basketry
. She was

Nola

.
Raised
in the
Birdtown
community
, her
father
was
George
Squirrel
. Her
mother
,
Rebecca
Taylor
knew
how to
make
baskets
. In a
departure
from
traditional
Cherokee
ways
of
learning
,
Lucy
George
did
not
learn
basket
making
from
mother
. In the
1930s
, as a
grown
woman
, she
learned
the
craft
from
Julia
Taylor
. She
developed
her
own
methods
,
using
honeysuckle
, a
material
considered
to be of
little
value
. As she
mastered
the
technique
and
art
of
weaving
baskets
from
honeysuckle
, she also
taught
others
and
demonstrated
her
craft
. The
photograph
is
in the
National
Archives
in
Washington
,
