The Oklahoma Historical Society was a great resource for this video (okhistory.org). Thanks to those at the Chikasha Academy Adult Immersion Program and the Seminole Nation Immersion School for helping with some translations.

We sampled some archival Native American songs in our original music. Many are recorded in the Library of Congress. Check out some here:

• Song about the departure of Seminole Indians from Florida for Oklahoma (loc.gov/item/flwpa000357),
• “Tlingit Paddling Song” (archive.org/details/podcast...),
• “Fox Song” sung by members of the Seminole Reservation (loc.gov/item/flwpa000354).

Why did Columbus launch a genocide on the more heavily populated "New" World?

During our Trail of Tears sequence we showed a few art pieces created by Native artists. Some of those artists include Jackson Narcomey, John Guthrie, Blackbear Bosin, and Jerome Tiger.
