Appalachian Bluebird: Daniel Widener, an Appalachian man with Native roots

Long ago, the mountains, hollers and rolling hills of Appalachia were home to Indigenous Peoples of many tribal nations. They hunted these forests, farmed these hollers and walked the same riverbanks we do now. Daniel Widener was a part of that legacy. He was a quiet man with deep roots. Native by blood and mountain born, he carried the old ways in his bones.
