The+Trail+of+Tears

This page has been created to honor all those who suffered through the Trail of Tears, which was a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830. We read the story //The Trail on which They Wept// by Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler. It is a historical/realistic fiction story about a young Cherokee girl whose family was forced to leave their home in northern Georgia to what is now northeastern Oklahoma. This horrific event took place in the fall of 1837. The Cherokee people were forced to walk over 800 miles. About 1/4 of the Cherokee did not survive.

In 1864, a similar event took place in our western lands. The Navajo people were also forced to leave their homes. This is known as //The Long Walk.//

Below you can view the monuments the fifth grade created to honor the Cherokee people.
