A Cherokee native artist keeps his tribal traditions alive though craft and carvings

For more than 30 years, Billy Welch has been carrying on Cherokee craft forms, particularly woodcarving. Today, his workshop can be found at Hunting Boy Woodcarving in the Snowbird section of the Qualla Boundary, just outside Robbinsville. Billy carves the masks and uses traditional roots to provide color and interest.
