The journey made by the Cherokee after their forced removal from their lands is known as the "Trail of Tears." This tragic event occurred in the 1830s when thousands of Cherokee were relocated from their ancestral homelands in the southeastern United States to designated Indian Territory, primarily in present-day Oklahoma. The journey was marked by severe hardships, including disease, harsh weather, and inadequate supplies, leading to the deaths of thousands along the way.
