Description
This undated photograph by an unknown photographer shows Cherokee woodcarver Adam Welch (1925-1985). Welch was born in the Big Cove Community on the Qualla Boundary. It was not until he retired from the Bureau of Indian Affairs that he discovered his woodcarving talent. Masks of all kinds, pipes, and figures of bears, ducks, whales, birds, and weasels are among the items he carved.
