Traveling 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. During the Spring 2014 semester, students made brochures highlighting significant landmarks and other points of interest in states the Cherokee Indians lived and/or traveled through on their forced migration. These brochures are a nice complement to a "This American Life Story" documenting the travels of two sisters who traveled the trail as their ancestors once did (http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/107/trail-of-tears).
