First People Heritage Center

Students in East Carolina University (ECU) Interior Design Class 4700 teamed up with Pitt Community College (PCC) Architectural Technology Class ARC 213 to design the First People Heritage Center to be built at the Historic Waynesborough Park in Wayne County, N.C. A man named Dreamweaver of the Haliwa-Saponi Indian tribe invited the students to submit designs for the new center. Dreamweaver and a board of Wayne County citizens are developing a hub center where Eastern Woodland Indians can display antiquities and market their artwork to the public. The students and their instructors, Rebecca Sweet (ECU) and Bill Hofler (PCC) were charged with submitting imaginative, sustainable designs for the 21st Century. Dreamweaver led the teams through a journey of discovery about the people who lived on this land 10,000 12,000 years ago.
