  • And So We Walked Delanna Studi and the Trail of Tears
    Monday, October 12, 7:30 PM EDT AND SO WE WALKED DELANNA STUDI AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS Moss Arts Center HomeStage Series AND SO WE WALKED DELANNA STUDI AND THE TRAIL OF TEARS Moderated by Mae Hey, assistant professor of American Indian Studies, Virginia Tech Produced by Octopus Theatricals Mara Isaacs, executive/creative producer Creator and Performer DeLanna Studi Director Corey Madden Excerpts from And So We Walked: Andrew Jackson Fort Cass Stomp Dance Presented in celebration of Indigenous People’s Day, in partnership with the Virginia Tech American Indian and Indigenous Community Center Program Notes PLAYWRIGHT’S NOTE This is a story about a journey. Perhaps that is a statement of the obvious, since you are here to see a play about “An Artist’s Journey along the Trail of Tears.” But it is more than that. It isn’t just my story about my journey. It is a Cherokee story, one that transcends my own personal identity and experiences. It belongs to the Cherokee people, past and present; to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina; and to the dozens of people across the country who helped me complete this project. The Cherokee have a word, gadugi (written in Cherokee as “ᎦᏚᎩ”), which describes the tradition of coming together as a community to promote, support, and celebrate each other. Gadugi is a reflection of the tribal mentality and the awareness of our ancestors that we are stronger together. By helping one another, we help the collective. While the word is often connected to communal work (such as barn raisings), it also has a more spiritual meaning.

INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report was prepared for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under Order No. 982106M207. The purpose of this study is to provide baseline historical information pertaining to those portions of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail that cross onto lands managed by the FWS at the White River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in Arkansas, the Wheeler NWR in Alabama, and the Tennessee NWR in Tennessee. The Trail of Tears refers to the removal of the Creek, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee and Seminole tribes from their lands east of the Mississippi River and their relocation to the Indian Territory in the 1820s and 1830s. Because of the loss of life and suffering during the removal, this event in the nation’s history has been termed the “Trail of Tears” and research and documentation of its history has increased significantly in recent decades.
