1. Sir, please tell us what is happening here and why.
“Their goal is to round-up all of us and take us away from our land against our wills. General Winfield Scott had 7,000 troops he stood by and did nothing to help us as all of us carried all our belongings on an 850-mile march”
2. Sir, what were the cases of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia and Worchester v. Georgia? How do the cases relate to what is happening now?
“We all decided that we were an independent nation, so we decided to leave Georgia, so we don’t have state laws being forced upon us anymore. The U.S Supreme Court told Samuel Worcester to leave because non- Indian people were not supposed to be on the Indian lands with out and kind of identification or license to prove they could be there. However, they lost so we all had to leave our lands leading up to this”
3. Ma'am, please tell us about how this movement is affecting your people, now and for the future.
“Many of the children and the oldest tribe members have died. They had died from the diseases that people had, there was no food, the temperatures that we faced, along with horrible treatment. This has affected us because we don’t have much space to do anything so the diseases spread like wild fire.”
Your Name:
