SUMMARY:Book Signing: 'Riding the Trail: Cherokees Remember the Removal' with co-author Will Chavez (Cherokee Nation)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Museum Store tomorrow\, September 30\, at 4pm for a special book signing with author Will Chavez (Cherokee Nation)\, co-author of Riding the Trail: Cherokees Remember the Removal\, following the annual 950-mile bike ride retracing the Trail of Tears.\n\nStop by\, meet the author\, and get your copy signed! We hope to see you there!\n\nAbout the Book:\n\nFollow Cherokee youths on a 950-mile bike journey retracing the Trail of Tears—from Georgia to Oklahoma—on the annual Remember the Removal Ride.\nThis inspiring photo-rich nonfiction book follows Native youth riding to remember history\, to link past and present through culture\, to gain resilience\, and to show activism. For ages 10 and up.\n\nReaders follow Cherokee youth as they train for the Remember the Removal Ride\, dive into the Cherokee language\, and find out more about the important chapter in their tribe’s history. The ride began in 1984 and became an annual event in 2009. There are nearly 300 alumni\, including coauthor Will Chavez\, who was also a coordinator of the program.\n\nHere are 112 pages of photo-illustrated nonfiction penned by enrolled Cherokee Nation coauthors. This does something no other book does: presents the Trail of Tears in a contemporary context. While Cherokee people suffered that grim chapter in history\, they thrive today.\n\nTraci Sorell is an award-winning author of children picture books and middle-grade books. Will Chavez is an award-winning journalist and photographer. Both creators are citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
