Abstract

This article commemorates the unveiling of bronze statues honoring King Haiglar, a Catawba Indian leader, and English settler Thomas Spratt II at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. The statues recognize the early history of the Charlotte, North Carolina region during the 1700s, highlighting King Haiglar’s leadership and alliances during the French and Indian War. The event symbolizes respect and recognition between Indigenous and settler communities. The article emphasizes the cultural significance of the Catawba Indian Nation, acknowledging their resilience in preserving their heritage despite historical challenges such as the Termination Act of the 1960s. By honoring these figures, the statues serve as a testament to the enduring legacy and pride of the Catawba people and their contributions to regional history and cultural preservation.
