    Cultural Heritage the Mountains and Foothills of North Carolina Have Over Many Centuries Fostered a Rich Mosaic of Cultural Heritage

    Western North Carolina Vitality Index Cultural Heritage www.wncvitalityindex.org The mountains and foothills of North Carolina have over many centuries fostered a rich mosaic of cultural heritage. The birthplace of the Cherokee’s advanced early civilization, the region is home today to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, which continues to preserve many facets of traditional Cherokee culture. Beginning in the eighteenth century, European and African settlers moved into the mountains. The relative isolation of mountain life helped these settlers refine and preserve many traditions, most notably handmade crafts, traditional music, and local agricultural practices. Today, these distinctive cultural legacies are celebrated as living traditions, providing employment to master artists and tradition bearers and drawing tourists from across the globe to experience the region’s craft galleries, music halls, festivals, museums, farms, and local cuisine. photo courtesy of Blue Ridge National this project has been funded by Heritage Area a project of Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Designation A National Heritage Area is a place designated by the United States Congress where natural, cultural, historic, and recreational resources combine to form a cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape arising from patterns of human activity shaped by geography. Currently, there are 49 National Heritage Areas across the United States, where each area shares how their people, resources, and histories come together to provide experiences that “tell America’s story” and to encourage the community to join together around a common theme and promote the cultural, natural, and recreational benefits of the area. In November 2003, Western North Carolina (WNC) was designated the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area in recognition of the region’s agriculture, craft heritage, traditional music, the distinctive living traditions of Cherokee culture, and rich natural heritage, and their significance to the country.

    Traditional Song

    3 TraditionalSong l3-9 Traditional Song Week realizes a dream of a comprehensive program completely devoted to traditional styles of singing. Unlike programs where singing takes a back seat to the instrumentalists, it is the entire focus of this week, which aims to help restore the power of songs within the larger traditional music scene. Here, finally, is a place where you can develop and grow in confidence about your singing, and have lots of fun with other folks devoted to their own song journeys. Come gather with us to explore various traditional song genres under the guidance of experienced, top-notch instructors. When singers gather together, magical moments are bound to happen! For Traditional Song Week’s ninth year and our celebration of The Swannanoa Gathering’s 25th Anniversary, we are proud to present a gathering of highly influential singers and musicians who have remained devoted over the years to preserving and promoting traditional song. Tuesday evening will be our big Hoedown for a Traditional Country, Honk-Tonk, Western Swing Song and Dance Night. Imagine singing to a house band of Josh Goforth, Robin and Linda Williams and Ranger Doug or Tim May, Tim O’Brien, and Mark Weems! So, bring your boots and hats, your voices and instruments, and get ready to bring on the fun! Our Community Gathering Time each day just after lunch affords us the opportunity to experience together, as one group, diverse topics concerning our shared love of traditional song. This year’s spotlight will feature folks who have been “on the road” and singing for quite a while.
  • Aquatic Ecosystems

    Aquatic Ecosystems

    February 19, 2014 Nantahala and Pisgah NFs Assessment Aquatic Ecosystems The overall richness of North Carolina’s aquatic fauna is directly related to the geomorphology of the state, which defines the major drainage divisions and the diversity of habitats found within. There are seventeen major river basins in North Carolina. Five western basins are part of the Interior Basin (IB) and drain to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico (Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, French Broad, Watauga, and New). Parts of these five river basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests (NFs). Twelve central and eastern basins are part of the Atlantic Slope (AS) and flow to the Atlantic Ocean. Of these twelve central and eastern basins, parts of the Savannah, Broad, Catawba, and Yadkin-Pee Dee basins are within the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs. As described later in this report, the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, for the most part, support higher elevation coldwater streams, and relatively little cool- and warmwater resources. To gain perspective on the importance of aquatic ecosystems on the Nantahala and Pisgah NFs, it is first necessary to understand their value at regional and national scales. The southeastern United States has the highest aquatic species diversity in the entire United States (Burr and Mayden 1992; Williams et al. 1993; Taylor et al. 1996; Warren et al. 2000,), with southeastern fishes comprising 62% of the United States fauna, and nearly 50% of the North American fish fauna (Burr and Mayden 1992). Freshwater mollusk diversity in the southeast is ‘globally unparalleled’, representing 91% of all United States mussel species (Neves et al.

  • The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe

    The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe

    B AR B ARA C HING Happily Ever After in the Marketplace: The Ballads of the Southern Mountains and the Escape from Old Europe Between 1882 and 1898, Harvard English Professor Francis J. Child published The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, a five volume col- lection of ballad lyrics that he believed to pre-date the printing press. While ballad collections had been published before, the scope and pur- ported antiquity of Child’s project captured the public imagination; within a decade, folklorists and amateur folk song collectors excitedly reported finding versions of the ballads in the Appalachians. Many enthused about the ‘purity’ of their discoveries – due to the supposed isolation of the British immigrants from the corrupting influences of modernization. When Englishman Cecil Sharp visited the mountains in search of English ballads, he described the people he encountered as “just English peasant folk [who] do not seem to me to have taken on any distinctive American traits” (cited in Whisnant 116). Even during the mid-century folk revival, Kentuckian Jean Thomas, founder of the American Folk Song Festival, wrote in the liner notes to a 1960 Folk- ways album featuring highlights from the festival that at the close of the Elizabethan era, English, Scotch, and Scotch Irish wearied of the tyranny of their kings and spurred by undaunted courage and love of inde- pendence they braved the perils of uncharted seas to seek freedom in a new world. Some tarried in the colonies but the braver, bolder, more venturesome of spirit pressed deep into the Appalachians bringing with them – hope in their hearts, song on their lips – the song their Anglo-Saxon forbears had gathered from the wander- ing minstrels of Shakespeare’s time.

    A Document Guide to the Banjo Players 1900 -2008 ______

    A DOCUMENT GUIDE TO THE BANJO PLAYERS 1900 -2008 _____________________________________________________ The banjo is a little like corn-licker; you either love it or loathe it – but you can’t ignore it. Since its gradual evolution across the centuries the sound of the banjo, in its various forms, has permeated into folk, jazz, blues, country and gospel music and made stars of many of those who chose to play the instrument. According to master banjo player Earl Scruggs, the banjo had its origins in Arabia thousands of years ago: it consisted of a skin ‘head’ stretched over a hollow body and strung with three strings. This instrument was carried to the East with the spread of Islam. Negro slaves brought it to the United States from Africa. Other instruments similar to the banjo have existed in India (the ravenastron) and Egypt ( where it was known as a banit) but other names associated with it include bangie, banza, banjer and banjar. In general terms the four and five-string banjo has found most favour with folk musicians and one Joel Walker Sweeney is usually credited with ‘inventing’ the true American banjo but this now seems doubtful. In 1830 Sweeney, a native of Appomattox, Virginia, supposedly made a revolutionary modification by adding a fifth string, or chanterelle, higher in pitch and next to the lowest pitched string and secured by a peg halfway up the neck. This ‘new’ instrument became extremely popular throughout the United States, where it held a place in the affections of ordinary people throughout the nineteenth century. Although Joel Sweeney’s name is legendary and he will be forever linked with the five-string banjo, watercolour paintings executed long before his time depict the fifth string on plantation banjos.
