The 2013 Remember the Removal Bike Ride commemorates the
175th anniversary of the Trail of Tears. 15 young Cherokee nation citizens will
spend the next three weeks on bikes retracing their ancestors’ footsteps along
the northern route, which passes through seven states.
These men and women will retrace our tribal nation’s route to Oklahoma – from our ancestral homelands in the east to our current capital city. It will be a personal and life-changing journey for them. As a student of history, and specifically Cherokee history, I am envious of the journey they are undertaking and the understanding they will attain by travelling the route of removal.
