In 1838, soldiers forced the Cherokee to take an arduous, 900-mile walk to Indian Territory — what is today the state of Oklahoma. The conditions of this journey were hazardous, and many Cherokee did not live to reach their destination. They called the long walk "nuh NO hee doo no glo HEE luh", or "Trail where they cried." It is better known to Americans today as the Trail of Tears.
Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, European settlers began to build colonies along the eastern coasts of North America. For a time, the settlers and the natives were able to coexist more or less peacefully. This became increasingly difficult as the colonists began to push westward. Gradually the Cherokee territory shrunk, and when gold was discovered in the region of what is now Georgia, prospectors overran the former Cherokee lands. Finally, the Georgia legislature began to plan a removal of the remaining Cherokee people.
