Tonight we watched the drama musical "Unto These Hills" which is the story of the Trail of Tears. Basically it told about how the Cherokee were forcibly removed from their land in North Carolina to Oklahoma. The story mainly focused on Tsali and his family who were also moved from their home, later escaped, then sentenced to death without trial for killing the two guards by whom they had been arrested. In the end, a narrator gave an inspiring speech about how the Cherokee nation is now large and growing again. The kids here are now learning about their heritage and relearning the Cherokee language. I thought the play was very well written and presented, and the actors were extremely convincing and well-rehearsed.
