TRAIL OF TEARS.
From: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN INDIAN CIVIL RIGHTS

In 1838, tens of thousands of Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw Indians were forced to move to regions west of the Mississippi. This event was depicted in Robert Lindneux's painting, Trail of Tears. Many had to make the trip on foot, and thousands did not survive the journey.

Since the 1700s North American Indians have fought the displacement from their tribal lands. Often, displacement resulted from treaties between the United States and Indian tribes. In 1986, demonstrators protested outside the Bureau of Indian Affairs office in New York City against the relocation of Native Americans in northern Arizona.
