She's interviewed on the Trail of Tears segment. Her g-g-great grandmother Quatie died during the removal, who was the wife of their chief John Ross.
Most of the documentaries on the Trail she's been in, her perspective is like it happened last year. She and her family never forgot and never will. Ross helped Jackson win a war, and for payback the entire nation was forced to leave all their lands and head to Oklahoma, during the winter, where she's from. How The West Was Lost was a good show, she's the Cherokee in that, and a couple movies with Wes Studi...a Cherokee that plays mostly bad guy other Induns.
She's a tribal historian, with a keen memory and a bone to pick.
