The Keetoowahs Come Home
VHS, 30 min., 1995
An exploration of the saga of a group of American Indians who were forced to leave their southern home in 1828 and move to Indian Territory designated for them and now known as the state of Oklahoma. On September 10, 1994, Chief John Ross and the council of the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee Indians participated in a ceremonial march across the state line, leaving Oklahoma for Arkansas, a return to their original home. The program examines the history and hopes of the tribe through the collective research and experience of historians and tribal members.
