In 1835 two Cherokees who were not elected leaders of the tribe signed a treaty(协议) with the federal government.The treaty arranged for the Cherokee Indians to move away from Georgia.The treaty was not good because no elected leader had signed it.More than 16,000 Cherokees signed a petition(请愿书) asking that the treaty should be canceled.President Jackson refused.In 1838 ten thousand American soldiers were sent to Georgia to remove the Cherokees from the land they had lived on as long as anyone could remember.They were taken to a makeshift prison until the trip west could begin.

　　The trip to Oklahoma began in cold weather.More than four thousand Cherokee Indians died on the trip.One fourth of the tribe died on the trail(小道) known as the “Trail of Tears”．The Cherokees call this trail Nunna­da­ul­tsun­yi，meaning “The Place Where They Cried”．
