Live from Austin, TX. December 14, 1988 * Eric Johnson - Guitar * Kyle Brock - Bass Guitar * Tommy Taylor - drums LYRICS: "Take me from these earth bound chains I must find it once again The meaning of equality We will never hide in shame But forever guard the flame Burning for eternity Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Promises sometimes don't keep Freedom, put to sleep, and now I know (I lay my body down) Written with the words you tell Stories, a lesson in life from long ago Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Hold on, hold dear The time is near When you'll know why The spirit flies Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Children carried on your back Driven through the wind and cold How have you become so few But in the end, oh, I will see Your spiritual liberty Forever to be with you Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Hundreds of nights Oh, my body cries A trail of tears Hold on, hold dear The time is near When you'll know why The spirit flies"

The Trail of Tears as Told by Johnny Cash - pt 1
Removal of the Cherokees Birthday Story of Private John G. Burnett, Captain Abraham McClellan's Company, 2nd Regiment, 2nd Brigade, Mounted Infantry, Cherokee Indian Removal, 1838-39. Children: This is my birthday, December 11, 1890, I am eighty years old today. I was born at Kings Iron Works in Sulllivan County, Tennessee, December the 11th, 1810. I grew into manhood fishing in Beaver Creek and roaming through the forest hunting the deer and the wild boar and the timber wolf. Often spending weeks at a time in the solitary wilderness with no companions but my rifle, hunting knife, and a small hatchet that I carried in my belt in all of my wilderness wanderings. On these long hunting trips I met and became acquainted with many of the Cherokee Indians, hunting with them by day and sleeping around their camp fires by night. I learned to speak their language, and they taught me the arts of trailing and building traps and snares. On one of my long hunts in the fall of 1829, I found a young Cherokee who had been shot by a roving band of hunters and who had eluded his pursuers and concealed himself under a shelving rock. Weak from loss of blood, the poor creature was unable to walk and almost famished for water. I carried him to a spring, bathed and bandaged the bullet wound, and built a shelter out of bark peeled from a dead chestnut tree. I nursed and protected him feeding him on chestnuts and toasted deer meat. When he was able to travel I accompanied him to the home of his ...

The Trail of Tears: They Knew It Was Wrong
Students, get a full week of this at a summer seminar: lrnlbty.co The Trail of Tears shouldn't have happened. People at the time knew that it was wrong, that it was illegal, and that it was unconstitutional, but they did it anyway. Historian Amy Sturgis explains why the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation to "Indian Territory" (modern-day Oklahoma) was wrong on both moral and legal grounds. How can the Trail of Tears provide lessons to us today? We can't look aside and ignore the Trail of Tears as an example of something that was just part of the mid-19th century mindset. It is a story about how a group that had power gained at the expense of a minority unable to defend itself. The Trail of Tears set precedents we can only hope to avoid repeating.

WASP: Trail of Tears
This is the 7th track from the album DYING FOR THE WORLD from WASP inspired by the Cherokee march of the XIX century, when they all had to move to Oklahoma. I want to share some Blackie Lawless's inner notes about this song: "Lyrically though it was inspired by one of the greatest atrocities the US government ever made to happen. After the great American Indian Nations were enslaved and exiled onto reservations and interment camps (basically prison camps) the majority of the Cherokee Nation were made to march on foot, under guard by the United States army, from the South East of the United States to Oklahoma. With little food and drinkable water and no medical attention, over 4000 died resulting from the march that took ten months. That march would be named 'Trail Of Tears'. The translation in native Cherokee language is "The Trail of Tears they cried". Another 5000 would die in the prison camps awaiting removal to Oklahoma but never made the "trail". Thanks Blackie, for your music, so many souls wanted to scream what you sing in this song and mostly in this album! I love you! Enjoy ((=

Trail of Tears - - - WASP
My personal interpretation of the song "Trail of Tears" from the album Dying For The World (2002) by WASP www.myspace.com www.myspace.com The Legend of The Cherokee Rose When the Trail of Tears started in 1838, the mothers of the Cherokee were grieving and crying so much, they were unable to help their children survive the journey. The Elders prayed for a sign that would lift the Mother's spirits to give them strength. The next day, a beautiful rose began to grow where each mother's tears fell. The rose is white for their tears; a gold center represents the gold taken from the Cherokee lands, and seven leaves on each stem for the seven Cherokee clans. The wild Cherokee Rose grows along the route of the trail of Tears into eastern Oklahoma today. "I saw the helpless Cherokees arrested and dragged from their homes, and driven at the bayonet point into the stockades. And in the chill of a drizzling rain on an October morning I saw them loaded like cattle or sheep into six hundred and forty-five wagons and started toward the west.... On the morning of November the 17th we encountered a terrific sleet and snow storm with freezing temperatures and from that day until we reached the end of the fateful journey on March the 26th 1839, the sufferings of the Cherokees were awful. The trail of the exiles was a trail of death. They had to sleep in the wagons and on the ground without fire. And I have known as many as twenty-two of them to die in one night of pneumonia due to ill ...

Trail of Tears - Music for the Native American Flute
In a sad and shameful episode of American history, in the 1830s, thousands of Cherokee men, women, and children were removed from their homes in the Southeastern United States and forced to march over a thousand miles to what is now Oklahoma. Over 4000 died as a result of the removal. The route they took and the journey itself has become known as "The Trail of Tears," or, the literal translation from the Cherokee, "The Trail Where They Cried." This song by WAR RAVEN (aka JD Droddy) pays tribute to the VICTIMS of that tragedy. For more NAF music by War Raven, or for free sheet music or MP3, visit our Web site at www.sunquaver.com .

Trail Of Tears
Song: Trail Of Tears Artist: Heather Dale Album: The Gabriel Hounds All the leaves were turning brown As we marched through Tennessee Herding men like Moses did Into the dusty sea And though they cried to Jesus Still we did as we was told Mother Mercy looked away The sky was thick with crows They say there's a difference Tween the white man and the red That though they pray and work like me They're something else instead President Jackson says it's best But he ain't the one to go Mother mercy looked away The sky was thick with crows I marched down the trail of tears With a rifle in my hand With orders not to pick them up If anyone couldn't stand And though the sun was shining down That trail to hell still froze Mother mercy looked away The sky was thick with crows Daniel Thorton held his tongue Till he couldn't hold it back He raised his voice to the Major's guns So they shot him in his tracks Their bodies fed those feathered coats On blackened wings they rose Mother mercy looked away The sky was thick with crows What do you tell a mother Who can't feed her starving child How can you tell a boy of ten To march a thousand miles What do you tell your children When they ask what words you chose When mother mercy looked away And he sky was thick with crows

We Shall Remain, Episode 3 Trail of Tears Part 1
This belongs to PBS, I do not own any part of it The Cherokee would call it Nu-No-Du-Na-Tlo-Hi-Lu, "The Trail Where They Cried." On May 26, 1838, federal troops forced thousands of Cherokee from their homes in the Southeastern United States, driving them toward Indian Territory in Eastern Oklahoma. More than 4000 died of disease and starvation along the way. For years the Cherokee had resisted removal from their land in every way they knew. Convinced that white America rejected Native Americans because they were "savages," Cherokee leaders established a republic with a European-style legislature and legal system. Many Cherokee became Christian and adopted westernized education for their children. Their visionary principal chief, John Ross, would even take the Cherokee case to the Supreme Court, where he won a crucial recognition of tribal sovereignty that still resonates. Though in the end the Cherokee embrace of "civilization" and their landmark legal victory proved no match for white land hunger and military power, the Cherokee people were able, with characteristic ingenuity, to build a new life in Oklahoma, far from the land that had sustained them for generations.

Protest against the Trail of Tears
Students, get a full week of this at a summer seminar: lrnlbty.co Poet, essayist, and lecturer Ralph Waldo Emerson argued in an 1838 letter to President Martin Van Buren that the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from its land in Georgia to modern-day Oklahoma was wrong. Emerson's was one of many voices protesting the government's treatment of the Cherokee people. This extended excerpt from his letter, read by Professor Amy Sturgis, demonstrates that people at the time were aware that what the US government proposed to do was a grave injustice and should not have happened. Emerson's and others' protests fell on deaf ears. The forced removal of the Cherokee Nation became known as the Trail of Tears and remains a blemish on US history.

Trail of Tears "The Native American Genocide".3of5
The Trail of Tears or the "Walk of Shame" is a name given to the forced relocation and movement of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The removal included many members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, among others in the United States, from their homelands to Indian Territory (eastern sections of the present-day state of Oklahoma). The phrase originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831.[1] Many Native Americans suffered from exposure, disease and starvation en route to their destinations. Many died, including 4000 of the 15000 relocated Cherokee.
