Chase Kahwinhut Earles is a Native American traditional potter, contemporary artist, and ambassador of Caddo heritage and tradition. He has won numerous awards at prominent Native art gatherings including those at Red Earth Art Center (Oklahoma City), Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (Santa Fe), Cherokee Art Market (Catoosa, OK), Southeastern Art Show (Ada, OK), and many others. Earles will conduct a traditional pit-firing demonstration on campus and discuss how Caddo traditional pottery making represents continuity in tribal identity and heritage, linking contemporary Caddo with their ancestral past. This residency dovetails with the Jamie C. Brandon Center for Archaeological Research Annual Spring Lecture Series. For lecture information, visit uca.edu/go/earles.
