[PAR] [TLE] Trail of Tears [SEP] The Trail of Tears was a series of forced removals of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands in the Southeastern United States to an area west of the Mississippi River that had been designated as Indian Territory.  The forced relocations were carried out by various government authorities following the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.  The relocated people suffered from exposure, disease, and starvation while en route, and more than four thousand died before reaching their various destinations.  The removal included members of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations.  The phrase "Trail of Tears" originated from a description of the removal of the Cherokee Nation in 1838. [PAR] [TLE] Murrell Home [SEP] The Murrell Home, also known as the George M. Murrell Home, is a historic house museum at 19479 E Murrel Rd in Murrell Home Park, Park Hill, near Tahlequah, Oklahoma in the Cherokee Nation.
