"Trail Of Tears" www.richheape.com - Rich-Heape Films, Inc. Nearly a quarter of the Cherokee Nation froze or starved to death on the trail to Oklahoma Indian Territory. This video explores America's darkest period: President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation to Oklahoma in 1838. Nearly a quarter of the Cherokee National died during the Trail of Tears, arriving in Indian Territory with few elders and even fewer children. Presented by Wes Studi and narrated by James Earl Jones, "Trail of Tears Cherokee Legacy" has already captured an impressive array of awards including a Nammy for best long video. Known worldwide as "The Nammys" - Nama (Native American Music Awards) is an ultimate celebration of music & video honoring the outstanding achievements of today's leading Native American artists.

We have become such selfish people destroying anything that gets in our path! These beautiful people had so much to teach and give instead we chose to take. The world was so beautiful and full of life, now just look at what we have done, we still continue to destroy everything. Will we ever learn?

That's not very fair. So many native americans are half. I'm half white, half cherokee. I would hate to see the NA's take back "their" land, because it would mean my family was divded, set against each other. All the "white men" are gone now: America is a melting pot. You can't take away one part without taking it away in its entirity.

very beautiful and also so very sad at what the white man has done to the Native Americans. I pray that some day the Native Americans will once again take back the land that the white man stole from the Native Americans. I to am part native American ( blackfoot)
