Hello, I'm in the Southeastern United States, near Atlanta, Georgia.
Up until the late 1700s, this area was the homeland of a remarkable civilization, the Cherokee Indians. Then, in the early 1800s gold was discovered in this area and the Indian Removal Act was passed and in 1838, the Cherokee were forcibly uprooted from their homeland and relocated to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. Their story has been largely forgotten
I'm starting an Indiegogo campaign to tell the story of the Cherokee and present their Culture and Lifestyle accurately and with honor in a series of quality oil paintings. These will be exhibited in the region to tell the Cherokee's story.
I hope that this forum can help me put my campaign together>
