Nunna
daul Isunyi "the Trail Where We
Cried."
Commonly referred to as:
"Trail of Tears"
The
Trail of
Tears is a tragic tale
of force winning over decency and power winning over justice.
An unforgivable
act committed by the Government of the United States and signed into law by
President Andrew Jackson. In many ways, Andrew Jackson was seen as a good or
even great president. He was the first president to serve two terms equaling 8
years. Because of his unfortunate upbringing, which we will include in a
separate research project Titled: "Andrew Jackson", he was a very corse and
stern man who lacked as much in appearance as he did in manners and education.
Nonetheless, it was his signature bringing into law that resulted in the removal
of the Cherokees from their homes and land. The Cherokee even sought relief from
this law by appealing to the United States Supreme court, and won. Although the
Cherokee Nation was declared a Soveriegn Nation, the removal took place anyway.
Davy Crocket (an opposing Congressman at the time, was so disgusted with this
that he left the area and headed west to Texas. The official U.S. Government
count of dead numbered only in the 4oo's. However Officers and Doctors who
accompanied the journey state a much higher number from 2000 upwards to 4000
deaths. Not all were removed by walking the "trail". Some were taken by boat but
suffered enormous deaths as well.
The term we know as "Trail
of Tears" was taken from the what the Cherokee called the horrible act. The
Cherokee named it "NUNNA DAUL ISUNYI" which translates as "the trail where we
cried"

The Legend of the Cherokee Rose.
No better symbol exists of the pain and suffering of the
Trail Where They Cried than the Cherokee
Rose(pictured above). The mothers of the Cherokee grieved so much that the
chiefs prayed for a sign to lift the mother's spirits and give them strength to
care for their children. From that day forward, a beautiful new flower, a rose,
grew wherever a mother's tear fell to the ground. The rose is white, for the
mother's tears. It has a gold center, for the gold taken from the Cherokee
lands, and seven leaves on each stem that represent the seven Cherokee clans
that made the journey. To this day, the Cherokee Rose prospers along the route
of the "Trail of Tears". The Cherokee Rose is now
the official flower of the State of Georgia.
