For the Five Civilised Tribes of Native America, the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Muscogee (Creek), and the Cherokee, this meant the end of their lives as they knew it and the start of the Trail of Tears.A trail that, not only brought tears, but has become famous for the starvation, disease, despair and death amongst the Five Civilised Tribes that were forced to travel on it.An unbelievably sad story, said to be the most sorrowful legacy of the Jacksonian Era. But it’s all true.

Days of the Old Wild West charts the lives and times of the American expansion into the west during the 19TH century. It was a hard life for many but it paved the way for a new life and new opportunities to find the American Dream. Many of the names you will recognise and some could be new to you.

Read about the Navajo Nation itself and learn how their language helped to bring victory to the United States over Japan in the South Pacific.

Learn about the legend that was and is Chief Sitting Bull and perhaps you too will admire...

That’s the history that is read about, understood, and hopefully learnt from, so that it never happens again.But Native Americans have come through everything that they have had thrown at them over the years, and are now making...
