Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️
i was born in okla. my mother's family lived in and around marlow okla 1885. many people who lived in okla have family members who married and intermingled with indian people. i can relate with everything that was stated in this lecture today. thank you
As a cousin of the grandchildren of Elizabeth Quatie, who died on the trail, and of the family of John Forsyth, a chief implementor of the policy of Presidents Jackson and Van Buren, I am grateful for this opportunity to become better informed.
Very interesting
Excellent research, presentation, of our sadly oppressive American History - and its gentle reminder that it is not only possible today, but is indeed happening by our silence today. Having lived through WWII; visited Tallequah OK ' and active with UN NGOs related to indigenous peoples; I appreciate being awakened by yet another voice risking speaking truth to Powers. Ruth Watson
So interesting. Having read books like "The Trail of Tears", I was enthralled at the factual information presented by Billie. I think we need a Rosetta Stone for Sequoia's language. If we only could read what documents remain, we probably could learn a lot from what the native American tribes knew and thought.
This was wonderful, and yes I had a few tears also, this is a heartbreaking story .but so well done,
EXCELLENT
