Winter, 1838
The women carried a nation home — one mile, one child, one prayer at a time.
When the Cherokee were forced west in 1838, the road took roughly one in four. Through it, the women carried children who could no longer walk, rationed what little there was, sang the old songs against the cold, and buried their dead by morning so the rest could keep moving.
Cherokee elders say a rose grew wherever a mother’s tears fell — white for grief, gold at its center for the land that was stolen, seven leaves for the seven clans. The nation survived because the women refused to set it down.
"The women kept us alive on the way."
