And So We Walked

And So We Walked: An Artist’s Journey Along the Trail of Tears is a frank, heartwarming and inspiring story about a contemporary Cherokee woman and her father who embark on an incredible 900-mile journey along the Trail of Tears to truly understand her own identity and the conflicts of her nation. The six-week journey retraces the path her great-great grandparents took in the 1830’s during the forced relocation of 17,000 Cherokee from their homelands. Written by Cherokee artist DeLanna Studi, And So We Walked is a powerful, multi-faceted dramatic memoir that draws on extraordinary interviews, historical research, and Studi’s personal experience to convey the complexities and conflicts with which the Cherokee wrestle.
