On March 26, 1839, Cherokee Indians came to the end of the “Trail of Tears,” a forced death march from their ancestral home in the Smoky Mountains to the Oklahoma Territory.
“The Cherokee/Seminole Removal Role Play” is a classroom lesson where students role play the decision to remove the Cherokee and Seminole people from their lands.
