The term "Trail of Tears" or "Trail where they cried" is used to describe the forced removal of Native American tribes, particularly the Cherokee Nation, from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. The name reflects the immense suffering and loss endured by the Native Americans during this forced relocation, during which thousands died due to exposure, disease, and starvation.
