FAMILY TRADITION. “Samson Owl, then, was coming down and buying pottery off the reservation, and he asked my mama [grandmother Martha Jane Harris] to make pottery for him. And she started to make them then, maybe a couple years, I reckon, before that. I would help her, you know; I did the rubbing. . . . And we’d take my money and buy groceries.” --Georgia Harris on Helping Her Mother Make Pottery [image: Left to right back row: Minnie Harris, Eliza Jane Gordon in fancy dress, Martha Jane Harris.
