Trail of Tears
by knannThe relocation of the Native Americans to the Oklahoma Territory that became known as "The Trail of Tears", "The Trail Where They Cried " ("Nunna daul Tsuny") by the Cherokee, represents one of the darkest and saddest episodes of American history. It is a tragic tale of force winning out over decency and power winning out over justice.
