Description	Lillie Beck Bryson (1876–1951) was a Cherokee woman raised off the Qualla Boundary in Rabun Gap, Georgia. Bryson learned to make Catawba-style pottery while living in South Carolina, among the family of her first husband, a Catawba man. After his death, Bryson moved to western North Carolina and married Joseph A. Saunooke, principal chief of the Eastern Cherokee in the 1910s and 1920s. She continued to make pottery, and though she labeled her work “Cherokee” after 1931, she clearly worked in the Catawba style. In her lifetime, Bryson provided a valuable connection among the Cherokee to Catawba clay deposits.
