Manners and customs

Lloyd Carl Owle (b. 1943) was born and raised in the Birdtown community on the Qualla Boundary. As a child, he helped his father make bows and arrows. In high school, he studied woodcarving with Amanda Crowe and later turned to making sculpture that depicts the history and legends of the Cherokee. In 1972, Owle was honored with an exhibition of his work at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, an artisan cooperative. The exhibit featured sixteen pieces that he made from cherry, holly, and buckeye.
