Apache Trails of Tears

The story of the Cherokee Trail of Tears is very well documented.  Under the guise of the Treaty of New Echota with Presidential support, thousands of Cherokees were removed from their territory east of the Mississippi River between 1835-1838.  The death toll is estimated at 10 thousand.  Fifty years later, the development of Carlisle Schools  (1879-1918) across the country worked actively to erase Native Americans' culture.  The Bureau followed the principle of "Kill the Indian, Save the Man."  Other lesser known, bur similar events followed this pattern including the Apache Trail of Tears and the Occupation of Alcatraz. American society is still coming to terms with it's brutal past. I found a great article written in the Washington Post entitled "Native American sports mascots turned real people into flimsy props good riddance to them all." Some critics claim it is part of a cancel culture.  I disagree,  I strongly believe it is a country wrestling with its past transgressions.  The Cleveland logo does not honor Native American Indians.  It erodes and reduces humanity to something trivial.
