About the Author

This cookbook was compiled by the elders and members of Appalachian American Indians of West Virginia. AAIWV is the largest Native American Group in West Virginia; with over 5000 members, most of whom still live in West Virginia. AAIWV was formally recognized as an Inter-tribal tribe by both the West Virginia Legislature and by a Governor’s Proclamation. Our goal is to retain the history and culture of the Native American Peoples, who continue to live in our beloved state. We accomplish this through our Free On-line monthly Newsletter, Powwows, Learning Lodges, Educational Lectures, Social Gatherings and Cultural Activities throughout the state
