Those Who Remain by Gene J. Crediford

A Photographer's Memoir of South Carolina Indians

"When DeSoto and later Juan Pardo marched through what was known as the province of Cofitachequi, the native population was estimated at well over 18,000. Most shared a common Catawba language, enabling this confederation of tribes to practice advanced political and social methods, cooperate and support each other, and meet their common enemy.

Through interviews and a generous photograph montage stretching over two decades, Gene Crediford reveals the commonality and diversity among these people of Indian identity; their heritage, culture, frustrations with the system, joys in success of the younger generation, and hope for the future of those who came after them. This book is the story of those who remain. "
