[PAR] [TLE] Charles Thompson (Cherokee chief) [SEP] Charles Thompson (Utselata, ᎤᏤᎳᏔ also ᎤᏤᎴᏛ in Cherokee) was born to a full-blood Cherokee father and a European-American mother in the Southeastern United States.  According to one writer, the mother had been kidnapped at a young age and raised by Cherokees.  She never learned the identities of her real parents nor when or where she was born.  As a result, she did not speak English and could communicate only in Cherokee.  The family migrated west to Indian Territory during the Trail of Tears, and settled near the present-day site of Lake Spavinaw, in what is now Delaware County, Oklahoma. [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.
