Presentation transcript:

Trail of Tears In 1838 and 1839, as part of Andrew Jackson's Indian removal policy, the Cherokee nation was forced to give up its lands east of the Mississippi River and to migrate to an area in present-day Oklahoma. The Cherokee people called this journey the "Trail of Tears," because of its devastating effects.

Jackson’s Indian Removal Act This gave US Troops federal authority to banish Native American Indians from their homelands once and for all, sending them West of the Mississippi to Indian Territory.

Reservations Land set aside for Native Americans by the federal government.

Sequoya A Cherokee who created a Cherokee alphabet. From this the Cherokees created a newspaper and wrote a constitution. The giant redwood trees in California are named after him in honor of what he did.
