By "us" I take it you mean America and Americans. The Trail of Tears set the tone for Indian Policy that continues to this day. Indians are murdered, raped, starved to death, killed by exposure, Raped, have their children taken from them, have their property stolen, have their lands taken, and are refused any recourse of action. They also are not allowed to own property without permission, they cannot drive in the USA, they cannot access banks, utilities, or any other thing that requires Social Security numbers. And any action of their governments are ignored unless that government gets permission from the USA to take that action. Those members of government that act without that permission are called "Domestic Terrorists" and thrown in jail for life, or murdered. IE: It is how the property rights to all of the United States, was won.

Before the Trail of Tears the tribes involved were under the mistaken impression that the United States, and its people, were honest and just people. The actions taken by the USA and its citizens taught us that we were wrong, and the USA and its people are dishonest, untrustworthy, and by our terms less than human.

Why was the trail of tears called the trail tear?

The Native Americans were driven barefoot through rain, snow and other harsh weather conditions. They were NOT allowed to gather much of their possessions, if they were allowed any, before the FORCED march. Also they were brutally abused by the militia soldiers though the commander of the army ordered them to help the weak & sick (at least he did something right), but of course none of them listened nor helped the Indians. They call it the Trail of Tears because of how many Indians died. (over 4000) tell us why it is called that


Were Native Americans able to entertain themselves on the Trail of Tears?

Yes, Native Americans enjoyed dodging bullets (the militia charged locals .25 cents a shot to shoot at them - historically documented), they also enjoyed sneaking away from the corrals to try and find food; it was like Hide-n-Seek (only you got beat, raped, or murdered if caught), they also enjoyed a game much like 'fireman's carry' of the wounded, and sick; they also had a game much like a 'three legged race' when trying to help the elderly walk. Just to name a few of the entertaining delights they experienced on the Trail of Tears.
