Adult Field Trip at the Rev War Visitor Center
Lesson to be taught: Ye Iswą and Other People of South Carolina
Ye Iswą or Catawba as they are referred to by the Europeans have had a long and integral part in South Carolina’s history, but they are not the only indigenous people to inhabit the state. So, how did the Catawba cultural identity remain through time and changes when others had to choose to change their cultural identity in order to survive? Students will learn and discuss the Catawba from pre-colonization through the Revolutionary War.
Reservations are requested to participate in this program.
