Join actress DeLanna Studi (Cherokee), her father Thomas Studi (Cherokee), and documentarian Jesse Abdenour as they discuss the legacy and present-day impact of the Trail of Tears, a series of forced relocations of Native Americans following the Indian Removal Act of 1830. Earlier this year, Abdenour and the Studis embarked on a six-week journey to retrace the northern route of the Trail of Tears, hosting workshops and storytelling circles along the way, while also gathering stories to inpire a future work.
