In April 2016, I was invited to speak at the Helmerich Center for American Research at the Gilcrease Museum  in Tulsa, OK as part of their symposium From Removal to Rebirth: The Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory.  I shared research from my new book manuscript, specifically the material about how children experienced the Trail of Tears and the decade following it. I am honored that Cherokee Phoenix reporter Will Chavez wrote about it in detail. You can read his article here.
