Nottoway Cultural Center - Nottoway History

Nottoway Indian Tribe of Virginia, Inc. - Cultural Center
Nottoway History - From BarterThe Nottoway wanted to illustrate tribal history at their Cultural Center in Capron, Virginia. They divide their history into three periods: "From Barter, To Buffer, To Be." Each period is identified by a distinct background color that bleeds into the adjacent color as historical events occurred. These colors flow across the panels and softly divide the timelines.

Documents scanned from originals, historical paintings, and map illustrations are all rendered with the text. Recent photos were provided by the tribe, and illustrate events at their annual powwow in Surry County, VA.
