Trail of Tears
After the Indian Removal Act of 1830, many native American tribes were forced into relocation to Indian Territories. The travel from their homeland was harsh, and thousands died. The journeys made by these tribes became known as The Trail of Tears. In 1987, the route taken by 15,000 Cherokees was made a National Historic Trail. It spans across nine states.

How can you describe the Trail of Tears?
The Trail of Tears were a set of stockades (open prisons), Weigh Stations, Forts, and trails that ranged from 200 to 900 miles long starting in the south eastern United States and ending in the current day state of Oklahoma. The forced march of native Americans began in 1831 and ended sometime in 1839.
All weather conditions were present during the Trail of Tears, including at least two notably 'coldest winters' ever experienced (quoted from first hand reports).
The US Army, Militia and Volunteers forced native Americans to walk, through all weather conditions along these routes, holding them in stockades at different points. Documented accounts exist that: People were murdered (shot for fun or at the orders of commanders), Raped, tortured, drowned, intentionally exposed to diseases, starved, and had all property taken at the will of the taker without recourse. (Just imagine the death camps of Nazi Germany, but without as many photo opportunities).

That depends whether you are interested in historical accuracy, if you are genuinely interested in native languages and cultures - or if you prefer to promote the "ignorant white American" tradition of calling any native American female a squaw.
"Squaw" is a word used in American English that derives from the Natick (Wampanoag/Narragansett/Massachusett) words squaas, squas and squaus meaning a female. Even the neighbouring Algonquian-speaking tribes had their own different word for this:
- Delaware ochqueu or xkwe,
- Powhatan crenepo or cucheneppo or -squa
- Menominee ikwe,
- Ojibwe anishinaabekwe,
- Shawnee ichque,
- Abenaki phanem,
- Maliseet -sqehs
- Mohegan sqá
- Naskapi iskwaaw
Other linguistic groups had their own words for a female or a woman:
- Kiowa mahyehn
- Comanche nai'bi
- Onondaga hehron goniagui
- Oneida laothuwisʌ́tslaˀ
- Cayuga agǫgweh
- Seneca yakökwe
- Mohawk yakon:kwe
- Maya (Yucatec) ko'olel or xch'uup
- Flathead (Kalispel) smeem
- Lakota win
- Crow bia
- Hidatsa mia or wia
- Arikara sápat
- Mandan wiinh
- Shoshone wa'ipi
- Paiute mogo'ne
- Zuni mak'i
- Aztec (Nahuatl) cihuatl
- Yaqui jamut
- Hopi wùuti
- Cahuilla nícill
- Inca (Quechua) warmi or huarmi
- Xavante pi'õ
The idea that all native American women are "squaws" is clearly totally wrong and the use of that word should be avoided - it is simply insulting, ignorant and simplistic.
^ We actually prefer to be called "Indigenous" because any natural born human inhabiting either North or South America is a "Native American". Interesting side note, people from other areas of the world invade "Native American" chat rooms and post some pretty offensive and anti-American propaganda. They are mistaken because they took the literal translation of "Native American" and assume that a "Native American" chat room is full of average Americans. Little do they they're talking to a bunch of savages !!!
