The memory of the American Indian is slowly becoming a fading time in our history. The schools aren't teaching the real truth of the Native American. The first people the pilgrims met were curious but friendly Indians. The first winter the Indians helped the settlers from starving to death. My grand Mother was full Cherokee Indian and I'm 1/4 . My grandchildren are even less,but I try to constantly remind them of their heritage and the injustice that was placed on a proud people.
Thanks for the video. It put tears to my eyes remembering my ancestors all distreatment and torrer they had indorer. I am happy that we has people get to put therse videos on here and share our lifes and history. Because some many times the truth is never spooken about in the history books
My great granmother was a "Trail of tears" Cherokee. We are one of the lucky ones. Study how many tribes were wiped out by "The White" Man Beast!!! It is truly 'The Beginning of the End'. I'm a half breed. I am proud to be Tsalagi n Irish. Wado for this presention...
On the Trial of Tears we need to remember to not blame all Americans, just the guilty parties. The same if true of slavery, only about half (the Democrats) were in favor of slavery and over 150,000 US Army soldiers died to free the slaves from the Democrats. Lets put the blame on just the guilty not the innocent.
No, I don't live in their world. I will never personally be subjected to the brutality wrought upon my ancestors and to Native Americans even to this day, but injustice is still injustice. A rose by any other name.
I too mourn for the Native American tribes who died on the Trail of Tears. The US government they were doing a favor but it was no favor but annihilation. Im ashamed sometimes being american because of our evil deeds to the Native Americans.
Pay Taxes? Serve in the state militia? 16,000 men, women and children? The Cherokee Nation won their case before the supreme court and were deemed a sovereign and separate nation with in the boarders of the United States. My ancestor' home was raffled to a Caucasian family whose descendants still own it to this day. He died on The Trail of Tears, the American Death March.
True, many were, but you also must acknowledge that Jackson is the most to blame. John Marshall (the Chief Justice at the time) acknowledged in the case of the Cherokee Nation vrs. Georgia that the laws put on the Indians were unconstitutional since they were their own separate nation. Jackson, however, refused to enforce the law (the president's main job), saying 'John Marshall has made his decision; let him enforce it!'
indian reservations are still bad, im 16 and i came from a nice house and a big city and when i went back to the rez, this year. i was sad to see that alot of natives have completly givin up' 2 of my family members created suicide in 3 months. and the BIG part is the drinking problems, their spirits are half-dead and it just makes me sad/: indians shouldnt be this way, they're still alot of homeless there, mostly elderly! when i grow up i wanna change everything...
yeah that is true even lincon hung tons of Native Americans. The thing that gets me is that fact the history of all of this is never talked about in history books. The truth of our Native History.
Just an interesting fact,the founder of the band is Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple and Rainbow) and his ancestry though he's English and Welsh could go back to Native Americans,as he has a surname which was given to Native American slaves in Cumbria
I learned about the Trail of Tears and my heart broke for the Cherokee and other Indian tribes, I know now the US government are the savages. I want to teach on an Indian reservation and also would like to visit one also. Any suggestions?
These were the true human beings and I am ashamed of the history of this . American government was evil then and it is evil now, I am proud of my Cherokee DNA even though small I would gladly drain all the corrupted DNA from my body and be happy with the DNA of true human blood which is not European. The evil that was done to my ancestors was the worst in human history. The true human beings respected every living thing and if the Native peoples were the controllers of this planet how wonderful it would still be. I wish I could go back in time and live before the evil came and destroyed heaven on earth.
Another way? Such as totally disregarding a ruling by the United State Supreme Court. Despite this ruling in the favor of The Cherokee Nation, they were rounded up in concentration camps and sent out on what could only be described as an American Death March. They were never given another choice.
@laluhhxoxo : That´s so sad! =( How could you tell them that the world needs their spirit, their wellbeeing and their light? The drinking destroys them and nobody fighst for their right, if they don´t. I really hope all natives in America takes pride and claims their rights! Pride isn´t taking drugs or alcohol , or giving up =( Yes, i wish a change for the better also for American natives!
Like African Americans had been, Native Americans were seen as less than human.Throw in 'manifest destiny' and you have the forced relocation of people who had lived on that land since before the colonies were even thought of.Yeah, people still feel indignant about it all(being a throw-back to Cherokee blood myself, I sure do).We should never forget, but do not hold a grudge.That only continues the cycle of violence, and someone has to break it.Never forget, but learn to forgive.Look to today.
@Kathygrl08 Dont you ever feel ashamed because being American means first of all being good and pure defending the law of the land and the diving justice of the heavens and the ones who killed and wronged and done gone sinned in the name of the US where not Americans but a lesson showing us that the might and the power should always be held and kept in the side of the right and the good and i have thought about it so many times and it weren't our fathers who crimed but the evil in the shape
I only take slight comfort in knowing that Andrew Jackson hated the concept of paper money, so every bill with his face on it is another insult in his direction. Still though, he is preached as a hero. Why? Because he won a battle in Canada AFTER the War of 1812 was over. He also was the cause of the depression that followed his presidency. I like trees, but that old hickory's legacy should've been chopped down years ago.
@coupleofbeers31 well you weren't and you didn't, but you are alive now and must continue to educate yourself and others. Indigenous people of the world have to come together to save ourselves and mother earth from this evil empire by any means nessasary!
Native Americans were NOT afforded the rights that whites were given. Yes, there were Cherokee who became slave owners. There were Cherokee who sought to assimilate the white mans way of life thinking that they would be left alone. The only Cherokee who were not removed on the Trail of Tears were those who avoided capture by escaping into the mountains. They took men, women and children "Probably bribe the troops to leave"? That is absurd. Rationalizations and Excuses, that is all you have said.
I always amaze to see how similar our nations history is.
I hope you eventually will achieve the best for your nation
Greetings from Jerusalem Israel

my great grandmother was on the trail of tears with her native american people
"I DON'T CARE what the court/law SAYS! I'm going to DO what I WANT TO!" - U.S. federal government (1776-present)
Just beautiful video..
Excellent comparison between Jackson and Hitler.
Good words, "Never forget, but learn to forgive. Look to today."
You did such a great job on this .
No, I don't live in their world. I will never personally be subjected to the brutality wrought upon my ancestors and to Native Americans even to this day, but injustice is still injustice. A rose by any other name.
thanks! i actually didn't watch the whole video and totally missed the ending credits.lol. and thats where it said it. Thanks again:-)
I too mourn for the Native American tribes who died on the Trail of Tears. The US government they were doing a favor but it was no favor but annihilation. Im ashamed sometimes being american because of our evil deeds to the Native Americans.
Good job and song u pick!!

Sadder than sad.
My teacher showed us this video in class and i came looking for it cuz i liked the song

I will research it.
Thanks
the legacy "jacksonian democracy" left behind
Pay Taxes? Serve in the state militia? 16,000 men, women and children?
The Cherokee Nation won their case before the supreme court and were deemed a sovereign and separate nation with in the boarders of the United States.

Agreed, with the Jackson Part.
me and my classmates are using this for our powerpoint =]
yeah that is true even lincon hung tons of Native Americans. The thing that gets me is that fact the history of all of this is never talked about in history books. The truth of our Native History.
Its called "Wish you were here" from the band "Blackmores Night"
Just an interesting fact,the founder of the band is Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple and Rainbow) and his ancestry though he's English and Welsh could go back to Native Americans,as he has a surname which was given to Native American slaves in Cumbria
Thak you from this li Cherokee
@thunderhawk54 My heart goes out to your greatgrandmother for her strength and courage to go through the Trail of Tears.
I hope you got a good grade for it! Thanks for the great job!
I like the song
Keeper
im cherokee n italian
I learned about the Trail of Tears and my heart broke for the Cherokee and other Indian tribes, I know now the US government are the savages.
I want to teach on an Indian reservation and also would like to visit one also.
Any suggestions?

does anybody know what song this is? I would love to use it for a presentation I am doing on this subject. Good visuals and really really sad.
how long did she live?
did she survive the journey?
this is a sad tribute
mine were the Cherokee
My people were treated so unfairly its awful
Another way? Such as totally disregarding a ruling by the United State Supreme Court.

((I will admit though that Jackson off the twenty would be nice. It's like putting Hitler on the Euro...))
Yup....here's something they will NEVER teach in school.
Sick.

and i have thought about it so many times and it weren't our fathers who crimed but the evil in the shape
Only those guilty of genocide.

aw so sad! :'( The government is a shit! >:( may all those people lay in peace :'(
i would 2
So now the US is doing the same thing in Afghanistan? and Iraq? Correct, more modernly
Native Americans were NOT afforded the rights that whites were given.
Yes, there were Cherokee who became slave owners.
There were Cherokee who sought to assimilate the white mans way of life thinking that they would be left alone.
The only Cherokee who were not removed on the Trail of Tears were those who avoided capture by escaping into the mountains.
They took men, women and children
"Probably bribe the troops to leave"?
That is absurd. Rationalizations and Excuses, that is all you have said.
Again, your statements make absolutly no sense or have any correlation with reality.
