What is the Appalachian American Indian Dream

I recently was asked, "What is the Appalachian American Indian Dream" you refer to?"
In a need to "brand" myself for business and educational proposes, I felt that this was in line with the who that I am. The dreams and visions of our First Peoples need to be shared by a those who have been mentored and have mastered much of those visions and traditions. I have spent much of my life in this endeavor, thus the "brand."
Why Appalachia, you ask? I was raised at the western edge of Appalachia, and my concentrated knowledge is of the People of the region of the world's first mountain range, therefore I am always attempting to be a master of the Appalachian American Indian dreams and Visions.
Hope that makes sense.

I have found that living as if I am in that time (without being naive as to the world about) I am able to surround myself with like minded people who as a group, find the ability to return to that yesterday, for a time. To visit it a while refilling the pot and refreshing the Spirit. Come join us, if you are one of us.
That said, no, we cannot reverse the clock, but we retain the ability to control it's progress in our personal lives. Akin to biofeedback. It works.

Sitting in our library, watching the snows build, drift and swirl and am moved to create. Such are the best of days.

Merriest of Christmases to you and yours.
Walk in Balance.
Your Brother,
the elk
