Also… yikes. The indigenous people were just like "no, no it’s cool, take our land, we’ve been wanting a smaller settlement anyway "
The trail of tears was from Florida to Oklahoma. We “gave” them Oklahoma and it was referred to as indaian territory
Then a few years later we took Oklahoma back from them, lol, and opened up the land runsl. I live in Oklahoma and the trail of tears was drilled into our heads throughout the years in public schools. Are they not teaching it anymore??
Either way we seriously fucked over a bunch of tribes. Seminole, Cherokee etc
Academic circles have preferred “American Indian” for a couple decades now. You still see “Native American” in lower-level materials (undergraduate and below), though.
Yeah having lived in both countries, until recently the US was miles ahead in admitting its wrongs on Indigenous people. Things are starting to change here but I was amazed when I first moved to Canada how few knew the history.
That’s Canadian, the US doesn’t refer to indigenous Americans as “First Nations”. Native American is still the academic go-to south of the border.

They absolutely still teach the Trail of Tears in American schools, I don’t know why everyone still thinks it’s this big coverup.

looks like an older Canadian textbook, not US.
trail of tears is a centerpiece in any section on native American history in US schools.

Can you share what book you got this from?
You may want to actually read the book you’re using.
Lol that fails to mention that guns were aimed at them when they “agreed.”
