Abstract: Like most Native American tribes in American history, the Cherokee Indians attempted to co-exist with settlers moving westward. Through a series of land treaties; however, the Cherokee soon found themselves having to cede sizable portions of their territory and were forced to participate in a forced march called the Trail of Tears where many of them died because of inclement weather and starvation. Some of the historic sites along their journey are now parks and national trails for all to visit.
