Knokovtee Scott, Leader of the Shell Carving Revolution

Knokovtee Scott was a Cherokee National Treasure and perhaps the most influential Cherokee shell carver in recent history. We were lucky enough to spend some time with Knokovtee before he passed away... Along with countless students whom he taught over several decades.

Hopefully, his teaching will live on. We must always think 7 generations out. That will keep the people strong. May he rest in peace.

Wado! This made my morning.
I’d love to learn more about Cherokee “scarf ties”, as mentioned in the video. If anyone has information, I’d be glad to receive it. Be well!
