Art from Benny Andrews: Trail of Tears Series - posted from Pascagoula, MS
Cherokee language video - posted from Eagle Point, OR
Gives children the opportunity to hear Cherokee language spoken by elders. It also shows how they are working to preserve the spoken language by teaching it to children in their communities.
Diligwa: A living Cherokee history - posted from Eagle Point, OR
Video of a living history museum in OK.
An excellent video - posted from North Salem, NY
I knew my son is very sensitive to injustice, and would have a difficult time discussing the trail of tears. I am glad I found this video. It uses actors speaking in Cherokee to enact the story, with an emphasis on their strength and perserverance rather than victimhood. It also ends showing the vibrant Cherokee community today. I recommend it.
