Add to ORKGWahdih "Watty" Chiltoskie (1897-1973), also known as Watty Chiltoskie, was a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. He was born in the Piney Grove section of the Qualla Boundary. Like his parents, he spoke only Cherokee, learning English later in life. While still a young man, he started carving, at first using a kitchen knife and later a pocketknife. He taught his younger brother, Goingback Chiltoskie/Chiltoskey to carve. Later, Goingback gave Watty a set of woodcarving tools. Using these tools, Watty Chiltoskie carved a number of forms. Horsehead bookends were his most popular. In some records, Chiltoskie's last name is also spelled "Chiltosky" or "Chiltoskey"
