The "Trail of Tears"
The Cherokee Nation was originally located across the Southeastern United States, primarily North Carolina and Georgia. The people were highly civilized and affluent. Their capital was at New Echota, Georgia. During the ten years between 1828 and 1838 their forced removal to Indian Territory, the area which is now Oklahoma, was systematically executed. Many died along the way from exposure and disease. Among them was the wife of Principal Chief John Ross, who died in a snow storm near Little Rock Arkansas. This tragic move, over many trails and streams has become known as the "Trail of Tears." The Cherokees speak of it as "Nunna-da-ul-tsun-yi," "The Trail Where They Cried."
