[ForGod'sSake]

note: there are about 800 familes that trace our lineage to "the Long Walk from Georgia".)

What would we do today. Different breed back then, eh?

[stand watie]

you are likely correct.

BUT as my father said, "the long walk" wasn't "really very brave;it just saved the lives of many." - it took almost TEN months to walk from GA, much of the time in the coldest/wettest winter that anyone could remember.

our people are not called "The Refugees" for nothing.

NOTE: "The Refugees" had it HARD on the trip, but NOT nearly as hard as the pitiful folks of "The Trail of Tears". - about 2/3 of the Indians that were "rounded up", jailed in concentration camps & marched at the point of bayonets to IT/AR survived. the rest were starved to death, died of disease/exposure or were just plain murdered in cold blood.
