John Autry<p>May 23, 1838 - U.S. General Winfield Scott began the forced removal of the Cherokee from North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, and their detention in forts built for that purpose. He was implementing the Treaty of New Echota, signed by a few members of the tribe relinquishing their lands for a payment of $5 million, under orders from President Martin Van Buren.</p><p>16,000 Cherokee were then driven on foot to “Indian Territory” (what is now Oklahoma). Of those who set out on the forced march known as the “The Trail of Tears,” nearly one-quarter died along the way or as a result of the relocation.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TreatyOfNewEchota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TreatyOfNewEchota</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/WinfieldScott" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WinfieldScott</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MartinVanBuren" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MartinVanBuren</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>From <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wikipedia</span></a>: Internment of Japanese Americans</p><p>"During World War II, the United States forcibly relocated and incarcerated about 120,000 people of Japanese descent in ten concentration camps operated by the War Relocation Authority (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WRA</span></a>), mostly in the western interior of the country. About two-thirds were U.S. citizens. </p><p>"These actions were initiated by Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, following the outbreak of war with the Empire of Japan in December 1941. About 127,000 Japanese Americans then lived in the continental U.S., of which about 112,000 lived on the West Coast. About 80,000 were Nisei ('second generation'; American-born Japanese with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USCitizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USCitizenship</span></a>) and Sansei ('third generation', the children of Nisei). The rest were Issei ('first generation') immigrants born in Japan, who were ineligible for citizenship. In Hawaii, where more than 150,000 Japanese Americans comprised more than one-third of the territory's population, only 1,200 to 1,800 were incarcerated.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Internment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Internment</span></a> was intended to mitigate a security risk which Japanese Americans were believed to pose. The scale of the incarceration in proportion to the size of the Japanese American population far surpassed similar measures undertaken against German and Italian Americans who numbered in the millions and of whom some thousands were interned, most of these non-citizens. Following the executive order, the entire West Coast was designated a military exclusion area, and all Japanese Americans living there were taken to assembly centers before being sent to concentration camps in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Arkansas. Similar actions were taken against individuals of Japanese descent in Canada. Internees were prohibited from taking more than they could carry into the camps, and many were forced to sell some or all of their property, including their homes and businesses. At the camps, which were surrounded by barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards, internees often lived in overcrowded barracks with minimal furnishing."</p><p>[...]</p><p>Prior use of internment camps in the United States</p><p>"The United States Government had previously employed civilian internment policies in a variety of circumstances. During the 1830s, civilians of the indigenous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a> were evicted from their homes and detained in 'emigration depots' in Alabama and Tennessee prior to the deportation to Oklahoma following the passage of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianRemovalAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianRemovalAct</span></a> in 1830.

John Autry<p>March 26, 1839 - The Cherokee Nation came to the end of the “Trail of Tears,” a forced march from their ancestral home in the Smoky Mountains to the Oklahoma Territory. General Winfield Scott, under orders from President Andrew Jackson, arrested then drove the tribe’s members through the winter, leaving 4000 dead along the route. According to John Burnett, an interpreter with the U.S. Army, “. . . covetousness on the part of the white race was the cause of all that the Cherokees had to suffer . . . .” The train of 645 wagons stretched for five km (three miles), leaving behind as many as twenty graves in one day, principally victims of exposure.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/TrailOfTears" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrailOfTears</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>[Short film] ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They’ve Been Taught)</p><p>"Filmed on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/QuallaBoundary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuallaBoundary</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a>, ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They’ve Been Taught) - pronounced "oo-day-yoh-nuh" - explores expressions of reciprocity within Cherokee communities, brought to life through a story told by an elder and first language speaker. ᎤᏕᏲᏅ is a reflection on tradition, language, land, and a commitment to maintaining balance. This film was created in collaboration with independent artists from both <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CherokeeNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CherokeeNation</span></a> and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.</p><p>"Today’s Cherokees are organized into three federally-recognized tribes: Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. As with most of the films in this series, language is conveyed as an integral part of how Indigenous peoples interact with the land through culture and their distinct worldviews to enact reciprocity. Tom Belt demonstrates how embedded in the Cherokee language are worldviews for which concepts often do not have easy translations into English. For instance, the fact that there is no word for art, and that the idea of creating something with its source in the natural world means that the artist is not creating something new, but simply remaking that material into something else. “Art” is thus both a medium for creative cultural expression and that which connects humans to the natural world through the transformation of natural materials into what we call art. </p><p>"Tom also shares another key perspective, that the world does not belong to humans. He tells us the ownership of the world belongs to those who came before humans, making humans merely guests who have 'to be as careful and responsible as we can be.'</p><p>"This film further exposes how gratitude and gifting are intertwined as necessary ingredients of reciprocity. Did you notice in the beginning of the film the offering of tobacco as the tree was taken so the masks could be made? In American Indian cultures the offering of tobacco is an almost universal element of thanksgiving. Other things could be given as an offering as well. By assuming responsibility and respect for what is being taken, the offering constitutes an act of reciprocity and gratitude."</p><p>Watch:<br><a href="https://www.reciprocity.org/films/udeyonv" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">reciprocity.org/films/udeyonv</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DCEFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DCEFF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousStorytellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousStorytellers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReciprocityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ReciprocityProject</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilmMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilmMakers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousWisdom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HonorTheEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HonorTheEarth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EasternBandOfCherokeeIndians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EasternBandOfCherokeeIndians</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnitedKeetoowah" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedKeetoowah</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gratitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gratitude</span></a></p>
