Retracing the path her great-great-grandparents took during the forced relocation of more than 17,000 Cherokee from their homelands in the 1830s, Cherokee performance artist and activist DeLanna Studi seeks to understand her identity and the conflicts of her nation. This powerful, theatrical memoir draws on interviews, historical research, and the Studis’ personal experience to convey the complexities and conflicts the Cherokee continue to wrestle with today.
