Native Ground
In the 1830s, the United States deported eighty thousands Indigenous Americans from their homelands east of the Mississippi River. Native Lands maps in depth and detail the Cherokee families who lost their homes in that decade, creating a virtual representation of the Cherokee Nation just before the U.S. Army rounded up its sixteen thousand citizens and forced them westward.
A project of the Center for Virtual History at the University of Georgia, Native Lands thanks the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts for their support.
