A historic Black migration often overlooked-the Cherokee Trail of Tears,moving thousands of Cherokees to Indian Territory (OK). 1838-the U.S. military& GA militia expelled Cherokees from their homeland. Families were rousted out of their cabins at gunpoint by soldiers. Forced to leave most of their possessions behind, Cherokees were loaded into stockades until  departure & were divided into 13 groups of nearly 1,000 people, each with 2 appointed leaders.

Help me to understand and accept that we are of one body, as each spirit flows, from one to another in a sacred hoop. Let the trails that bore my ancestors blood and tears, and the Chains that bound their freedom serve as reminders to all, of our hate and savagery against one another, and ensure its trust that we as a people choose never to repeat such ignorance.

Native Americans on the Plains    Between 1830 and 1870, nearly seventy thousand Native Americans were relocated to Oklahoma from their homes in Georgia and other Southern states. Many had adopted a lifestyle similar to that of their white neighbors. For some, that included enslaving black people. At least ten thousand African Americans walked on the Trail of Tears, and 175 died on the way to an unfamiliar life on the American plains.

The Trail of Tears (1838-39) The  path followed by the Cherokees, expelled from their lands in the Southeast; 15,000 were sent overland to Indian Territory (Oklahoma), and more than 4,000 died on the trek.
