Benjamin Downing is my great great great grandfather, a petioner for the removal of certain Cherokee Chiefs. He arrives in Oklahoma in 1832. He is a sheriff. He marries Margarett Rattinggoud.. She is the the granddaughter of Hamilton Conrad and Onai, of the Bird clan.... her uncles Quatie, Hair, Terrapinhead, daughter of Rattinggourd Conrad
This is an actual movie, not taken a hundred years ago but rather within months ago. Why don't the first nation living there, the Cherokee, move back into this forest today?
@wontonga why dont we all just go pick a forest and build shelter and live there peacefully? that is a great idea but I am concerned you have not thought it through very much. I am a Cherokee and I suggest you go check those woods out for me and let me know if my wife and kids and I can just move in with no problems and if that works out I'll call the rest of the tribe.
Who is that actor on 0:21? He always plays Native American roles.
