Not only the Appalachians, there is a similar situation of social and dire economic disparities in "Ozarkia" of the Ozarks and Ouachita mountain ranges, the Ozark socio-cultural entity covers most of southern Missouri, northern and western Arkansas, a part of eastern Oklahoma and a southeast edge of Kansas. The Ozarks' impoverished environs is due to its historic rural character and geographical isolation produced a lesser developed culture, to expressed a needed federal government attention in the late 1960s and '70s. After federal and state dollars poured into the region in the 1980s and '90s, today you will see Ozarkia has a real estate boom and newly-relocated industrial plants in a low-tax cost economy, plus the rise of American consumer icon Wal-Mart corporation which all began as a dime store in the town of Bentonville, Arkansas. + 71.102.11.193 (talk) 06:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I am planning on making some edits to this article. I wanted to let anyone that may be involved with this article to be aware. I also wanted to let you all know that I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas that anyone may have! The topic of Native Americans in Appalachia really interests me, and I would like to explore this topic a little more. I am starting the editing in my sandbox if anyone wants to leave suggestions that would be greatly appreciated! TayMills (talk) 21:14, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

NPOV
In the section "Outside perspectives and stereotypes" there is the following sentence: 'In spite of the region's desperate need for aid, weariness of being represented as "helpless, dumb and poor" often creates an attitude of hostility among Appalachianites.' It is not neutral to say that the region has a "desperate need for aid", although it is factual to say poverty is high. This is promoting the point of view that Appalachia needs welfare spending from the federal government which is clearly not agreed on by everyone - some people are generally opposed to welfare spending. Thus it violates WP:NPOV. 2601:640:4000:3170:0:0:0:F6D3 (talk) 23:24, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
