The Trail of Tears is the name given to the forced relocation of Native American nations from parts of the Southeastern United States. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 began the forced removal. About 125,000 native Americans were forced to move. More than 35% died on the way. The words "Trail of Tears" was given by those who witnessed this but the people themselves remained silent. The Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations were driven from their homeland to Indian Territory (present-day eastern Oklahoma). The time involved was from the winter of 1831-1837. Many died on the Trail from disease and mistreatment as they had to walk.
As a nation we pretty much pushed the native Americans further and further west until there was no place to go. In1907 Oklahoma became a state and Indian territory was gone for good.

Why were the cherkees moved?
I assume you are referring to the Cherokees, who were a tribe of what were then called "Indians." Sadly, as the United States grew and expanded, a number of Americans believed that they had a right to the land inhabited by the Indians, and many tribes were forcibly moved, often relocated to reservations under brutal conditions. In 1838, residents of Georgia decided they wanted the land the Cherokees occupied. In the event known today as the "Trail of Tears," the Georgia Cherokees were driven from their land and forced to march nearly 1000 miles to their new home in Oklahoma. It was a very arduous journey, and many of the Cherokees died along the way.
