The Hornet Spooklight near Joplin. According to most accounts it has appeared continually since the late 19th century. Some date the first encounters with the light back to the Trail of Tears in the 1830s. However, the first documented sighting is generally accepted to have occurred in 1881, although some report sightings as far back as 1866. The earliest published report dates back to 1936 in the Kansas City Star.

Trail of Tears
A historic Black migration often overlooked-the Cherokee Trail of Tears,moving thousands of Cherokees to Indian Territory (OK). 1838-the U.S. military& GA militia expelled Cherokees from their homeland.

Help me to understand and accept that we are of one body, as each spirit flows, from one to another in a sacred hoop. Let the trails that bore my ancestors blood and tears, and the Chains that bound their freedom serve as reminders to all, of our hate and savagery against one another, and ensure its trust that we as a people choose never to repeat such ignorance.

Native Americans on the Plains Between 1830 and 1870, nearly seventy thousand Native Americans were relocated to Oklahoma from their homes in Georgia and other Southern states. Many had adopted a lifestyle similar to that of their white neighbors. For some, that included enslaving black people. At least ten thousand African Americans walked on the Trail of Tears, and 175 died on the way to an unfamiliar life on the American plains.

The Trail of Tears (1838-39) The path followed by the Cherokees, expelled from their lands in the Southeast; 15,000 were sent overland to Indian Territory (Oklahoma), and more than 4,000 died on the trek. Congress approved the Indian Removal Act of 1830, and by an 1835 treaty - signed under coercion - the Cherokees were given $1-million for their land, and ordered to evacuate by 1837. Suffering and death took a toll, due to sickness, hardship, and exhaustion. The journey turned into a horror. Irish American, American West

Trail of Tears
The December 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee (along with a fight the next day at nearby Drexel Mission) marked the last major encounter of the great Plains Indians Wars of the 1800s. The Sioux give up any organized resistance and, for the next 83 years, would stay on their reservations. Later treaties would strip away more lands as poverty and social conditions continued to deteriorate. Native American Images, American History, Plains Indians, Wounded Knee Massacre

The Treaty of New Echota was a treaty signed on December 29, 1835, in New Echota, Georgia by officials of the US government and representatives of a minority Cherokee political faction, the Treaty Party. The treaty established terms under which the entire Cherokee Nation ceded its territory in the southeast and agreed to move west to the Indian Territory. It was amended and ratified by the U.S. Senate in March 1836, and became the legal basis for the forcible removal known as the Trail of Tears. Native American Music, Historia
