About this listen

The Cherokee were the first Native American tribe to develop a syllabic written language.

They were also the first Native American tribe to have a written constitution and the first Native American tribe to have a newspaper. And the list goes on and on. The Cherokee are one of the most fascinating Indigenous tribes in the United States of America. The Cherokee managed to assimilate themselves within the US. And yet, they were sent far across the country, exiled from their ancestral homelands.

What happened on their journey during the Trail of Tears? What side did they pick when the Civil War exploded onto the scene? Who led them to victory and brutal, brutal defeat? The truth is inside this audiobook.

Their story is one of the harshest in US history. The Cherokee suffered hardships practically from the moment they were born to the moment they died. From the Trail of Tears to the residential school system, their story is fraught with complications.

In this new, exposing, and honest retelling of the Cherokee, you will hear about the highs and lows of the Cherokee tribe, including the stories and moments that are often pushed under the rug.

Here’s a taste of what you will discover along the way:

  • The life of the Cherokee before the Europeans ever set foot on the shores of the United States
  • In-depth research on the many treaties drawn between the Europeans and the Cherokee
  • Details about President Jackson’s Trail of Tears and those who died along the way
  • The ways the Cherokee assimilated in the United States
  • The truth about life as a Cherokee on the reservation
  • Revelations about residential schools
  • The Cherokee police force
  • The first female principal chief of the Cherokee
  • And much more!

This is yet another fascinating account, well-narrated and delivered by Captivating History. The history of the indigenous North Americans is fascinating. This audiobook focuses on one group: the Cherokees. They were a forward-thinking tribe creating their own syllabic language, developing a Constitution and Laws to coexist alongside the Colonials. However, these Settlers through disease and guns forcibly removed the Cherokee and other Indigenous tribes from their ancestral lands to unfamiliar territory in Oklahoma and Arkansas. Such a sad and shameful episode in American history and it’s good to know that books like this provide an unbiased account of this dark period.

A SHAMEFUL PERIOD IN NORTH AMERICAN HISTORY
