- **Event Name**: Speaker Series: Finding “Trails of Tears”
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: For more than forty years researchers have worked to find and document remnants of landscapes associated with the 1838 deportations of Cherokee peoples from their Southeastern homelands. 

Here in North Carolina, we’ve used detailed survey records to find remains of Cherokee homes, trails and roads, and the federal military infrastructure used to dispossess and displace Cherokee families. These archaeological landscapes are now under protections and interpretive development as part of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, a National Park Service administered network that stretches from North Carolina to Oklahoma. We’ll take a look at these landscapes and the future of the National Historic Trail that remembers a tragic and shameful episode of the American story.
