It is useful information to people that aren't familiar with Appalachian culture.]]> 2022-02-08 02:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034519191 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034532587 This map shows the highlighted areas that are considered to be a part of Appalachia. As you can see, the area of Tennessee that I live in is very much part of it.]]> 2022-02-08 03:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034532587 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034541933 The Heartland Series is a personal journey through all the wonder that makes the Smoky Mountains unique. The Heartland Series also captures the human spirit that resides in Appalachia. The show takes a deep dive into stories, festivals, people, history, and pastimes that make the Appalachian region so unique. I grew up watching this show with my Mamaw and it is very near and dear to my heart.

This is the church that I grew up in. It is Independent Baptist and the congreagtion at its peak was maybe made up of around 35 people. Relgion, church, and faith is an intergral part of Appalchian culture. There are churches on every corner in this region.]]> 2022-02-08 03:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034555932 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034562834 Hee Haw was an intergral part of my childhood. My grandparents watched this quite frequently, so I am very familiar with the silly songs like this one. The show is very nostalgic to me and gives me great memories of loved ones that have passed on. A lot of people in the Appalachian region have grew up watching Hee Haw religiously. I don't know many people that grew up around me that haven't seen it.]]> 2022-02-08 03:34:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034562834 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034591807 Dollywood was a magical place to me when I was a child. For people in the Appalachian area that couldn't afford to go to Disney World, this was their Disney World. I have been to this place more times than I can count and most people in my area have had the same expereince. Dolly Parton created Dollywood to provide more jobs for people in the Appalchian region. So not only is it a fun place to visit, it provides jobs for people in a poor, rural area. ]]> 2022-02-08 03:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034591807 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034610930 My grandmother taught me how to sew when I was very young. I can still do basic stitches to this day. The memories of sewing, crocheting, and embroidering with my Mamaw are precious to me. I hope to learn more from her and then pass my knowledge down to my kids and grandkids one day. Above is some of my work from a long time ago. I have done many embroidery designs like this, but most of them have been gifted to family members so I don't have them anymore. I know that sewing is a part of Appalachian culture, as many people in this area had to make their own clothes to save money.]]> 2022-02-08 04:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034610930 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034624034 Every summer since I can remember, my Mamaw has spent weeks canning food. She cans green beans, potatoes, pickles, tomatos, kraut, etc. The food that she cans lasts for a few years and feeds us all winter long. There have been times that the only reason we didn't go hungry is because of my Mamaw's canned food. This tradition was instilled in my Mamaw by her mother and was taught for generations before her. This is definitely a part of Appalachian culture. Canning food saves a lot of money and is a labor of love.]]> 2022-02-08 04:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034624034 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034640351 There is never a time when cornbread isn't sitting on the stove, ready to be ate with our next meal, at my house. Corn bread is a southern Appalachian staple food. It's easy to make, the ingrediants are cheap, it's filling, and it's tasty! I probably have eaten more cornbread than sandwhich bread in my lifetime.]]> 2022-02-08 04:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034640351 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034651722 I have been to Cades Cove countless times and I feel like I still haven't explored all that it has to offer. This is peak Appalachian history, with many buildings still around of the settlers of Cades Cove. This place has and always will be very nostalgic to me. ]]> 2022-02-08 04:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034651722 kayladianedishman https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034662829 You can't talk about Appalachian culture without mentioning bluegrass. Being half-raised by my grandparents, bluegrass was a very important part of my childhood. That's pretty much the only kind of music my grandparents would play in the car, so I grew accustomed to it very early in life. My grandparents even took me to a bluegrass music festival once. I can still remember river dancing with some of the older gentleman there. Above is a link to a playlist of some famous bluegrass songs that I grew up listening to.]]> 2022-02-08 04:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kayladianedishman/h1cdwsvsxpbt9161/wish/2034662829
