About this title

Synopsis:

Historically, Cherokees occupied lands in several South-eastern states, but between 1721 and 1819, nine-tenths of their ancestral lands were ceded to others. Worse was to come with their forced removal and the now legendary Trail of Tears in which as many as 4,000 Cherokees died. Yet this proud people survived together with their resilient culture and it is this that celebrated photographer David Fitzgerald and historian Robert Conley honour in Cherokee.
