Between 1838 and 1839, thousands of Cherokee men, women, and children were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States. The journey, later known as the Trail of Tears, stretched over 1,200 miles and became one of the darkest chapters in American history. Exposure, hunger, disease, and harsh winter conditions claimed the lives of thousands along the way.

History remembers not only the tragedy but also the resilience of the Cherokee people, who endured unimaginable suffering while preserving their culture and identity.
