Even before the historic tribes known to us began to make pottery, archaic native American cultures produced ceramic vessels. The Mogollon , Hohokam and Anasazi cultures of the south-western area of North America all produced very artistic and effective pottery which continued as a traditional skill among all the Pueblo tribes (Hopi, Zuni, Tewa and others).
Today pueblo pottery continues to be made among the Taos, Picuri, Tesuque, Sandia, Jemez, Nambe, San Filipe, Isleta, Cochiti, Santa Clara, Santo Domingo, Acoma, Zia, San Juan, Santa Ana and San Ildefonso groups. Much of this pottery is still decorated with the traditional red, black and white pigments.
The neighbouring Papago, Maricopa, Mohave and Navajo people also make pottery - probably influenced by the ancient pueblo traditions.
Tribes of the lower Colorado River area such as Yuma and Mohave also produced pottery dolls as toys; in Southern California the Mission tribes made buff-coloured pottery decorated with simple red designs.
Historically, more simple and primitive pottery was also made by the Iroquois tribes, by the Huron, Delaware, the Erie, Fox, Assiniboine, Ojibwe, Mandan, Arikara, Shoshone, Pamunkey, Catawba, Cherokee, Creek, Apalachee, Seminole, Timucua, Quapaw, Shawnee, Missouri, Winnebago, Natchez, Choctaw, Caddo and Chickasaw. This pottery was generally not coloured but left in the natural browns and greys of the clay, often with scratched, stamped and incised decorations of dots and lines.
Iroquois pottery was made in a very distinctive shape with a globular body and a prominent collared rim.
