He did a terrible thing to the Indian people by forcing them to leave their ancestral lands to move west of the Mississippi, which is the state of Oklahoma today.…

Earth there were many rifts between the Khasta and Cherokee tribes. Anger flew with the wind spirit and it was left on these two tribes. As the sun fell below the treetops, a young girl from the tribe of the Cherokee was sent out to fetch berries. Her name was Riya. Ignorance of the forest trapped her in deep pit at the far end of a trail. Very few people treaded through the area. Her cries sang out in the valley below.
