Nearly a quarter of the Cherokee National died during the Trail of Tears, arriving in Indian Territory with few elders and even fewer children. Presented by Wes Studi and narrated by James Earl Jones, "Trail of Tears Cherokee Legacy" has already captured an impressive array of awards including a Nammy for best long video. Known worldwide as "The Nammys" - Nama (Native American Music Awards) is an ultimate celebration of music & video honoring the outstanding achievements of today's leading Native American artists.

  • ^^You might be ...

    ^^You might be right. One example that comes to mind are the Great Pyramids of Egypt wich were built by slave labour.Dating back 2000 years or more before Coloumbus's time.I never recall Native American tribes owning other human beings as "slave labour", so they werent accustomed to it perhaps.

    • Slavery

      Natives would sometimes take defeated enemy tribes as slaves. When white settlement came, some natives, including some Cherokee, even were involved in African slavery.

    native americans were not good slaves because they fought back. africans had aleady been subjected to centuries of slavery in their own countries and were primed for it as a culture.

    Your absolutely correct! There is a reason why they did that tho. Apperently the Africans made better farmers/slaves that Native Americans. Im not saying its right all im saying is what i heard about cotton/sugar cane plantations.

  • what the hell gives ...

    what the hell gives white savages the right to claim non white ancestry of any kind? they do not accept half breeds as white yet feel entitled to impose themselves on other races- I laugh at whites who pretend they are NA- and it's always that they're Cherokee or Apache never some unheard of tribe- lol

  • why do so many ...

    why do so many white americans claim to be "part native americans" but never claim to be blacks? that would be more likely. i think it's because they're full of S**t they would never admit to being blacks even though DNA tests show most whites in the US have black ancestry yet they will lie and pretend they are NA because they feel that has some social value. White savages kill off other races- when said races cease to exist they try on your bloodline like some fashion accesory-

  • Question for all ...

    Question for all Native American Nations!
    Why is that Native American Indigenous people have ignored the mismanagement of America's wild horses? Why aren't N.A. in the forefront suggesting solutions to prevent the eradicaion of a species you once depended on to cultivate the N.A. culture? Where are you?
    Do you care? Several emails to numerous NA Nations have been ignored. I want to hear from full blood Native American Peoples and not multi-national blood.The reasons are spiritual,not moral!

    Excelent start of the truth, a long way to go. Racism??? Greed is the main element of the story. President/General Andrew Jackson Only following orders, just chose a bad way to carry them out.

    This video had some good footage and reenactments, but it could really benefit from narration and more interviews. It's kind of like watching the history channel if the editors were to cut out all the important interviews and leave us with just the insignificant footage. This has the makings of a decent film, but it just needs more work. Kind of like my essay... that's due in 12 hours. Sigh.

    Because if their ancestors have lived in America since the nineteenth century they would have cherokee blood or indian blood. Also African American. Racism is an obsolete concept.
