The Trail of Tears The Story of the Cherokee Nation

One of the Five Civilized Tribes

Lived Among Whites

Established an Alphabet

Created a Government

Made It Against Their Law to Buy or Sell Their Land

Yet a Few Traded Georgia, North Carolina, and Parts of South Carolina and Tennessee for $5 Million

And 15, 000 Cherokee Were Packed Up in the Middle of Night to Move to Indian Territory

Said Goodbye To Their Home

And Began to Walk

And Walk

Buried 4, 000 On Their Way

Traveled Across the US

Settled in Northeastern Oklahoma

Upon What Was Called a Reservation

For 60 More Years Until This Land Too Was Given Away

And The Cherokee Were Moved Once More to a Smaller Reservation

Yet Cherokee Pride Still Exists

The Old and Young Alike
