Trail of Tears. My family does have Cherokee roots.

I saw that play. I also bought some really cool moccasins.

Since 1950? That’s practically forever!

“Unto These Hills”, is the third oldest outdoor Historical Drama in the us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unto_These_Hills. First performed on 1 July 1950

Similar to the play “Blue Jacket” about the Shawnee tribe in Ohio.

I am 34% Apache-Comanche and my people still recovering!

I went to Cherokee, North Carolina. Enjoyed the museum and learned alot bought some authentic pottery and lost a $10.00 roll of quarters in the casino.

Play is called Unto These Hills and it is not quite as good as it used to be, but still worth catching in Cherokee, NC.

I hope Meg is going to wash her hands before dinner.

True, i first saw it in 1980, then i took my grandkids a couple of years ago, I was surprised to learn that the production changed.

I wonder if they mentioned the Cherokee support for the Confederacy, since they were slave owners?

That’s eggs for yuh.

Has he just given up making this a comic strip. This used to be one of my favorites going back years. Now he’s just illustrating mundane conversations.

Went and saw the play a few years ago. Disappointing.

Were your moccasins made in China?

Cherokee NATION. Their tribe, their culture, they call the shots.

And don’t bite your nails after scraping off the egg poop.

i’ve worn moccasins since breaking my foot in 1998

hmmm…so did the Cherokee ever in their history displace the Comanche, Apache, Navajo or for that matter did any one of these people reciprocate with displacement and slavery between each other? One lesson to learn is don’t eat the yellow or brown wind driven snow…

Saw that show back in the middle 50’s. Probably also got moccasins.

We have casino’s everywhere!! I live in Oklahoma, the end of the Trail of Tears. The Indian history is alive and well in this state, with 39 Federally recognized tribes.

A couple of years ago they opened the “First Americans Museum” near downtown OKC, which I have not yet visited. We also have the “National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum” – formerly known as “The Cowboy Hall of Fame.” History is just exactly that – History. Erasing the reminders does not change the historic events. We have to learn from the past, not delete it.

So, since she went to the play, apparently the one in NC, does that clear up some of the questions about where they are located? Or just cause more confusion! LOL

I always knew there was a secret to that egg poo problem.

In the 3rd panel is Janis concerned about getting poop under her nails?

That’s Janis.
