They wanted to live on their own land, but not everyone liked it in the White House...
They survived, survived and continue to live, create and love, despite the fact that not everyone liked it...
After all, their culture did not imply enrichment at any cost ...
After all, they did not hear the sound of gold coins in their heads, but the singing of birds and the murmur of streams...

The Trail of Tears has become the symbol in American history that signifies the callousness of American policy makers toward American Indians. Indian lands were held hostage by the states and the federal government, and Indians had to agree to removal to preserve their identity as tribes.
The Trail of Tears was a series of forced displacements of approximately 60,000 American Indians of the "Five Civilized Tribes" between 1830 and 1850 by the United States government.
Part of the Indian removal, the ethnic cleansing was gradual, occurring over a period of nearly two decades.
Members of the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes"—the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations (including thousands of their black slaves)—were forcibly removed from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to areas to the west of the Mississippi River that had been designated Indian Territory.
The forced relocations were carried out by government authorities after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.
The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.

In the digital age, in our time, new Russian occupiers and enslavers have appeared.
Not much time has passed and new scum forcibly evict the inhabitants of Ukraine from their homeland...
They just came to them, they said that it was dangerous here, Russian soldiers took them out, put them on buses and sent them somewhere.
People who hurriedly loaded onto buses, sometimes at gunpoint from Russian soldiers, simply could not take with them everything they needed - in particular, money.
Many Ukrainians who were taken to Russia have no money. And in order to buy tickets, even if you have documents, you need to find this money somewhere. Ukrainian bank cards do not work in Russia.
According to preliminary data - 1.5 million inhabitants were stolen to Russia, from the territory of independent and fighting Ukraine.
