On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill explore the haunting history of the Trail of Tears—the forced removal of the Cherokee people and other tribes from their lands to territories west of the Mississippi in the 1830s. Along the way, the sisters connect with the spirit of John Ross, the Cherokee Nation’s Principal Chief, elected in 1828. Ross spent his life fighting for his people’s rights against relentless oppression. The tragic history of Native displacement is well known, but the heartbreaking details of this conflict will leave you stunned. Tune in as we share the stories, struggles, and resilience of the Cherokee Nation.
