The Trail of Tears

For the past three semesters, my students and I have learned about the lives of the Cherokee Indians before forced removal, during removal, and after relocation. This semester we added to our discussion the forced relocation of the Creek, Choctaw, Seminole, and Chickasaw Nations. What the students have created are statements to inspire wonder about the lived experiences of these Nations. They have also included the use of a mapping tool to highlight the former and/or current location of each nation. The mapping tools of choice were found to be user friendly for teachers and elementary students.

  5. Our group studied the Creek Tribe, also known as the Muscogee Nation. We created a map that depicts the move of the tribe from their original location to where they are located today.
