Cherokee Nation and the Trail of Tears 

I just learned today that my great great grandmother was full blood Cherokee I'm Dutch,German,French,Irish,and native American that's just from mom's side of the family

This was easy to understand. Thank you

who else has ancestors apart of this tribe?

My great Grandma's grandparents walked the trail of tears. I read this book by Gloria Jehoda which she writes that the during the trail of tears the Cherokee people were so hungry that they were freaking out eating bark off of trees and they had to kill a horse and eat it just to survive. The Cherokee trail of tears was 1813-1855. The book that I read talked about Pastor Eleazar Williams, White Bird's last stand and Blackhawk. Some good stuff in that book I read. You have the small pox incident.

This reminds me of the Holocaust

My great great great grandmother and grandfather did that

The Cherokees are the original owners of this land you broke every treaty that you ever had that breaks and you still You're still finessing the Constitution's broke two

Wow. Somehow I landed here after seeing a video about Little Richard who was part Native American (Cherokee). I realize that my parents land in Tennessee where we lived in the 70-80's is/was right around where the "Ft. Morrow" camp would have been. When we cleaned out an area to plant an organic vegetable garden we found loads of arrow and spear heads from the "Indians" (as we called them back then) in the earth. I was very young and didn't know about this part of history. So sad for them!

Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, Or And Seminoles were all on this trail and on the frontiers

A very dark time in our history.

I’m tryna Gather all the information I can now, if my great great grandma who took that awful walk with her family as a little girl Settling in Oklahoma 🙏🏾🙌🏾

You see... My ancestor is a little different, instead of being a victim, he caused the Trail Of Tears... It was Andrew Jackson, my uncle. I am so sorry for everyone who was involved.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is an imperative document. The United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has 46 different articles under it. I definitely want to get a copy of it and study it up. It is important to know our rights as a Indigenous people. I know that in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights you have article 25 section 1 which is our right to claim a nationality and you also have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 15 section 2 which is, "Nobody shall arbitrary deprived their nationality or be denied the right to change their nationality. It is very important to know the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is definitely very important for us to know. We also have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights article 18 which is our religious freedom and to practice different religions and beliefs as well as worship.

My Mother Ruby V. Jones was and always will be the Chief Of The Cherokee Nation that is a documented fact. As I stated before her life was taken from her and our family in a Fresno CA medical facility in 2012. One of The perpetrators took out and insurance policy on my mother using my name and social security # my info was given to him by the mother of one of my children. This perpetrator has his family living in homes that I own and that is why when I obtained his home # I called him several times and left my # on his answering machine being that I did not get a response from him I proceeded to tell his wife that she is living with a monster and that is why he is living with his daughter in another home that I own. This Person also in 2013 had my ex sister in law and mother inlaw call CPS on myself and the mother of my children after asking can they spend the night with their cousins saying that we abandoned our babies. Which was absolutely false . The attorneys for the CPS case and several of the CPS workers all were in on setting us and our babies up. I have been dealing with this since 2012 and because of Jesus Christ I have no complaints however it is now time for justice to prevail. I miss my babies their beautiful mother my lovely wife my other children i love you also you know who you are all three of my grandson's. And all my real friends and family God bless you all.

With all due respect and no disrespect to anyone my Mother Ruby V. Jones from the time that she was born in Mobile Alabama until the time of her death was and still is the documented Chief Of The Cherokee Nation. I am her eldest son In 2012 while in care at a medical facility in Fresno CA my mother was sexually assaulted and her life was taken. this to is a documented fact on camera all though someone deliberately turned off the camera to my mother's room it was still captured. Although this is the first time that I have went public with this I have approached those responsible for the blatant disrespect of my Beautiful mother. I have also had an altercation with one of the perpetrators. He never denied it no woman or human being for that matter should ever have to suffer that way. My mother knew who she was she did not flaunt it she was not scared either and I am not scared either the reason for that is because just like my mother I also believe in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ as all mankind should. Ms. Ruby V. Jones will receive justice no matter what. Amen.

I am a descendant of the Cherokee indian nation. My great, great Grandparents died on the trail of tears. Their families were killed, property stolen, put in concentration camps ie reservations. Black people claim they have rights to equity or reparations. Cherokee were farms, gatherers and hunters. But the land they cared for was so fertile the intruders were willing to kill fir it. Where is the justice?

My Dad is 50% Cherokee his ancestors were from The Trailof Tears Area is there anyway to trace any one back that far.I understand by some that have talked about it there is no information on any of the tribes in that area.

The Cherokee tribe is a southern Iroquois tribe that their tribal lands was originally the Appalachian mountains. You have the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples with it's preamble to it and 46 different articles listed under it. I know that the Native American Church they believe in Jesus Christ, the Great Spirit and the Creator. You have We'wha the two spirited one, Pastor Eleazar Williams and Wovoka the Paiute Shaman.

PLEASE HELP - Does anyone know of any books to learn about the Spirituality, Beliefs, Practices, and culture of the Cherokee people before European contact ? I want to learn so badly and can't find absolutely anything that isn't the trail of tears or whatever else that isn't what I listed.... I NEED BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS !

The first American Aborigines kept written records on metal plates. A part of those records has been published and is in the Book of Mormon. It gives detailed accounts of their travels and proceedings.
