A historic Black migration often overlooked-the Cherokee Trail of Tears,moving thousands of Cherokees to Indian Territory (OK). 1838-the U.S. military& GA militia expelled Cherokees from their homeland. Families were rousted out of their cabins at gunpoint by soldiers. Forced to leave most of their possessions behind, Cherokees were loaded into stockades until  departure & were divided into 13 groups of nearly 1,000 people, each with 2 appointed leaders.

Help me to understand and accept that we are of one body, as each spirit flows, from one to another in a sacred hoop. Let the trails that bore my ancestors blood and tears, and the Chains that bound their freedom serve as reminders to all, of our hate and savagery against one another, and ensure its trust that we as a people choose never to repeat such ignorance.

Native Americans on the Plains    Between 1830 and 1870, nearly seventy thousand Native Americans were relocated to Oklahoma from their homes in Georgia and other Southern states. Many had adopted a lifestyle similar to that of their white neighbors. For some, that included enslaving black people. At least ten thousand African Americans walked on the Trail of Tears, and 175 died on the way to an unfamiliar life on the American plains.

The December 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee (along with a fight the next day at nearby Drexel Mission) marked the last major encounter of the great Plains Indians Wars of the 1800s.  The Sioux give up any organized resistance and, for the next 83 years, would stay on their reservations.  Later treaties would strip away more lands as poverty and social conditions continued to deteriorate. Native North Americans, Plains Indians, Indigenous Americans, American Heroes, American History
