Dedicated to those that died and those that cried in what has become known as the Trail of Tears
One-fourth of the 16,542 Cherokees identified for removal in the 1835 Cherokee Nation Census perished due to their forced removal persuant to the illigitimate New Echota Treaty. Today we take pride in being champions of human rights and oppose ethnic cleansing. What happined to the Cherokees should not be forgotten.
The Memorial will list the name of the Head of Household and the number of members from the 1835 Census.This is the closest thing to a headstone that most of those that perished will ever have.
