Wright, Renee

Abstract:

The Cherokee Indians of the Southeastern states lost many of their tribal traditions during the turbulent years surrounding the Trail of Tears in 1838, when most of them were rounded up by United States Army soldiers and forced to go to new lands in Oklahoma. Some members of the tribe, the ancestors of today's Eastern Band of Cherokee, escaped and took refuge in the North Carolina mountains. Today the Eastern Band numbers over 13,000 Cherokee who live on the 56,000-acre Qualla Boundary Reservation. Wright discusses tribal elders' efforts to preserve the history and traditions of the Cherokee.
