TRAIL OF TEARS

Executive Productions-Seattle produced a series of custom video animations illustrating the Trail of Tears for an interactive display at the Fort Smith National Historic Site in Arkansas. Jeremy Sullivan created the animations.

The interactive exhibit allows the visitor to select one of the six tribes from the Trail of Tears to see the impact on each tribe and view it on a large display screen. The original exhibit has no audio (captioned only). The music "Trail of Tears" by Arvel Bird was added for effect. Arvel is of Scottish and American Indian ancestry (Paiute)...check out his music on http://www.arvelbird.com

This short video illustrates the Trail of Tears and the scope of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 where thousands lost their lives over a 30 year period.
