Pottery exhibit highlights Cherokee past, present
Apr 27, 2008
It was 170 years ago when Andrew Jackson as the president of the United States had 16,000 Cherokee Indians removed from their lands and marched to Oklahoma. Called The Trail of Tears, people who had lived in the southeastern part of this country were forced to move to the barren West while speculators sold their land to white farmers, and miners searched for the gold that had been found in Georgia. In the years since, the Cherokee have proven that people may have to leave their land, but their culture and heritage are always with them.
