Essential Events

The 'Trail of Tears' refers to the forced relocation of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to areas west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory. The relocation included many members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, among others, in the United States, which resulted in the deaths of thousands due to exposure, disease, and starvation during and after the journey. The Trail of Tears is one of the most notorious episodes of forced relocation in American history, occurring as a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the subsequent policies adopted by the U.S. government. The event is a significant and tragic part of Native American history, symbolizing the suffering endured by the tribes and the loss of their traditional lands.
