This is important. We remember.

March 24 is the @CherokeeNation national day of remembrance. It marks the arrival of the final detachment of our people in Indian Territory on the Trail of Tears. It was 180 years ago.

Of other non Europeans..Africans, Chinese, Mexicans. We didn’t treat the Irish so well or the Italians or the Hawaiian people. If they had what we wanted..we took it. Not a good look but it should be taught.
