http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/sagefever/44136 &nbsp;Another plug for this great series~ I hope you have been able to watch the first two episodes. If not then there is always online. The site has much to explore,the personal stories keep coming in,and new features keep popping up. &nbsp; (Monday,PBS&nbsp;9:00p.m.)~ &quot;The Trail of Tears&quot; promises to be as eye opening as the first two. As we have a sizable population here that identifies with the Cherokee Nation this episode (sneak peak here) should be seen. The Cherokee would call it Nu-No-Du-Na-Tlo-Hi-Lu, &ldquo;The Trail Where They Cried.&rdquo;This film by Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals,A Thief of Time and Skinwalkers) portrays the strength of character of the Cherokee Nation as they fight to retain their lands by all possible means,assimilating,adopting European style government and legal systems,accepting Christianity and taking their case all the way to SCOTUS.They won tribal sovereignty in this landmark case. &nbsp;Another plug for this great series~ I hope you have been able to watch the first two episodes.
