A little history about Nemadji Pottery:
NEMADJI POTTERY....
Twenty-five hundred years ago the ice sheet of the glacial age covered the land.  It is now known the primitive ancestors of our present Indians lived here when the great ice sheet started to melt and retreat.  Clays of various shades and composition were made by the glacial ice sheets: the great weight of the ice ground rocks and ores into dust, which became clays, afterwards washed and refined by the lakes and streams from the melting glaciers.  From these clays Nemadji Pottery is made.
The Indians used this clay left by the ice sheet to make cooking pot and vases, and in the ancient warrior's grave are found fragments of this favorite cooking pot.  Namadji Art Pottery is made largely from design of this ancient Indian potter and many of their traditional shapes are preserved in the designs.
The coloring of Nemadji Art Pottery is accomplished in a manner that allows no two pieces to be exactly alike.  The Pottery is burned in a kiln and glazed on the inside.  The warm rich colors of this pottery recall the colorful costumes of the redmen, who, though long since gone to the happy hunting ground, still haunts in spirit the plains, woods, and lakes of this our Empire.
