The Trail of Tears

Mary Catherine Nagel: I think my generation is maybe the first that has really, truly been able to have an actual conversation about healing some of those divides within Cherokee Nation. Delana Studie: My great-great grandmother watched as her father was shot and stabbed 40 times when she was a little girl. She told me growing up, she wasn't told the entire Trail of Tears story. You grew up in Oklahoma and you hear all these stories about our creation. But none of our creation sites are in Oklahoma. They're in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama where the Cherokee Nation was before the removal.
