PADMA:
During the forced removal, a small band of Cherokee families
resisted the U.S. Army and narrowly avoided displacement. Some hid in the mountains,
living as refugees on their own homeland, and foraging off the land to survive. Their descendants feel
an incredible responsibility to protect what's left
of their ancestral homeland on the Qualla Boundary,
where they live today. We are not a reservation
