Annie & the "Trail of Tears"

Every year for living history day, the 4th grade depicts the Trail of Tears that the Native American Cherokee tribe endured during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Annie was very excited about this! She got to play the main Squaw, or the chief's wife! She actually got to die right in the middle of the reenactment! It was also exciting because Mama's best friend, Shana, is a direct descendant of the Cherokee tribe that got to stay behind in North Carolina. As a result, Annie got to wear Shana's Cherokee costume and moccasins!
