''Nunna-da-ul-tsun-yi”  This is an Indian phrase that means “place where they cried”.  It is the name given to the 850 mile path that the Cherokee Indians took from Georgia to Oklahoma when the United States government forced them to move.  The Trail of Tears started in 1838, and ended in 1839.   Several events led to this important time in history.
