The
Trail of Tears Association
(TOTA) is a non-profit, membership organization formed to
support the creation, development, and interpretation of the
Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. Designated as a national
historic trail by Congress in 1987, the Trail commemorates the
forced removal of the Cherokee people from their homelands in
the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day
Oklahoma) in 1838 - 1839.
In 1993, the Association entered into
a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) to
promote and engage in the protection and preservation of Trail
of Tears National Historic Trail resources; to promote awareness
of the Trail's legacy, including the effects of the U.S.
Government's Indian Removal Policy on the Cherokees and other
tribes (primarily the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek, and
Seminole); and to perpetuate the management and development
techniques that are consistent with the National Park Service's
trail plan.
