"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.

I am from sweden, and when i was a child my grandma always told me storys about indians. I have always loved the storys. I really want to believe that we one day can live like they did!

Amen, brother. I am a 50-year-old woman as "white American" as you can get but when I have learned of the real truth of the history of this country, it breaks my heart. I know this will sound all cliche, maybe, or sappy, whatever....but I feel a kindred spirit with people who had nothing but respect for God's living planet, people, animals, and cultivated peace among their own and with others. Thank you, popgrand212, for putting it so well.
