Oklahoma: Two Trails of Tears

I'm in Oklahoma City and not I'm not remembering the Oklahoma City Bombing or the musical Oklahoma but instead the: "Trail of Tearsin 1831– the forced relocation and movement of Native American nations from their farms in the southeastern states to Oklahoma, and the Dust Bowl one-hundred years later that forced the "Okies" to leave.

The first group forced to live here and the second forced to leave. Two ironic trails of tears.

Carpe Diem
