A sad and heartwrenching walk for the Cherokee

A sad and heartwrenching walk for the Cherokee

Treaty denied
Ross died
Aniyunwiya (Cherokee)
In search of peace
Land stolen
Only want freedom
Forced to walk
The Trail Of Tears
Endless trek
Aniyunwiya weakened
Railroaded onto reservation
So many lives lost along the way
