This catalog features craft items available through the Southern Highlanders, Inc. during the late 1930s and 1940s. The term "Native American" as used here refers to traditional American crafts in general rather than American Indian crafts specifically. Many craft artists from western North Carolina sold products through the Southern Highlanders, Inc. during the late 1930s through the early 1950s. The Southern Highlanders, Inc. was a craft marketing cooperative initiated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) through its work with people who were displaced by their development projects. The Southern Highlanders, Inc. operated shops in Norris, Tennessee and Rockefeller Center in New York City.
