Dr. Andrew Jones to preserve Cherokee Voices
According to Andrew Jones, Ph.D., much of what is known about the Trail of Tears does not come from the Cherokee people, but instead comes “from the members of the armed forces who escorted the Cherokee to Oklahoma and from the missionaries and ministers who went alongside them.” As a Post-Doctoral Teaching Historian at Reinhardt, Jones will spend the next nine months teaching history classes and working with the Funk Heritage Center to expand the Trail of Tears narrative in a special project called Cherokee Voices. By transcribing primary source documents, Jones will be able to help tell the story of Cherokee removal from a Native American perspective.
