Nembe Se is a traditional Kingdom in the Southern part of Nigeria, East of the Niger Delta. They occupy all the Nembe speaking communities in Nembe and Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State in Nigeria. The Niger Delta region is a unique ecological zone in Nigeria with an area covering approximately 70,000 square kilometres and makes up to 7.5% of Nigeria's land mass. It is politically made up of more than 40 ethnic groups and about 250 different dialects. The region is rich in natural resources embedded in their environment and culture which is seen in their social, political, cultural, religious, economic and traditional systems on daily bases, making it a viable tourist attraction if well preserved. The region is posed with a threat to these treasures, hence the ardent need for an alternative means to promote, protect and preserve these resources for tourism, education, research and development, for sustainability. Textiles as a very mobile art is a distinctive human production considered as an ultimate form of material culture and a primary form of documenting indigenous source materials and revealing the identity, history, culture and environment of a people. These could be preserved, reproducing same through such artistic expression as decorative arts, theatrical arts and clothing, leading to industrialization. This paper looks at the cultural heritage of the Niger Delta people with the aim of documenting them in visual form on textiles. Design on textiles from different cultures and the Niger Delta are compared and analyzed with visuals, and a means of preserving them is suggested. The paper observed that the rich cultural heritage of the Niger Delta people if preserved on textiles will serve as a major instrument in their socio-economic development as seen in other nations if the industry and tourism sector is developed and sustained.
