During the Trail of Tears, it is estimated that approximately 4,000 Cherokee Indians died due to harsh conditions, disease, and inadequate supplies during the forced relocation from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Oklahoma. The journey, which took place between 1838 and 1839, was marked by extreme hardships, including exposure to harsh weather, malnutrition, and disease. This tragic event is a significant chapter in American history, reflecting the severe impact of U.S. government policies on Native American communities.
