Destination: Appalachia Culture – the traditions, history and footways of the mountains – Oct. 10, 2020
Appalachia Culture! It's all about those Southern States and their vibrant culture. The European legacy is not the only influence to Southern life in the mountains; there are hints of influence from around the world, with Africa and Europe providing the greatest influences. Their experiences are part of the whole story with Native American culture as the foundation.
Two Appalachian Experts share their thoughts and experiences. Nancy Diggs, author and Appalachian researcher, shares her experience traveling the region and meeting music greats too. Doc Bill's love for food sent him in search of native Georgia plants and animals in the SE area of Georgia along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. He discovers the influences of the Cherokee and their footways and writes a book about the abundance of great food items in the region.
