[ applause ] >> i have one controversial word i have to say. as i was researching the history of virginia many, many years ago, there was one brief little corner way down in southwest virginia that it appeared -- i'm not going to disagree with anyone, but it appeared that there were cherokee people that lived in one little small area of virginia. very small. but, chief hoskin, since the cherokee did live in virginia, according to my little recognition, welcome home.

it wasn't until the -- oklahoma became a state that that land was freed up. and so that's -- that's where they were. that's where they -- that's where the trail of tears ended. >> you mentioned the five tribes. can you tell me, who are the five tribes? the five tribes were tribes who had previously inhabited the south. the cherokee, the must cogee creek. the chickasaw, chac tau, and later the seminole were added to the original four. and they were all living sort of in the carolinas, alabama, arkansas, georgia, that land, and those tribes were removed and they were called the civilized tribes because they had had the most contact with europeans, with people on the eastern seaboard. >> so in 1887, congress passed the allotment act. describe what the act entailed, and the subsequent allotment era. >> so, the allotment act said, basically, you guys are out there in indian territory. you have got all this land, and you are not using imt you are farming it in common. you are not efficient with it. and basically, the pressure to get whites into that little island o

the state of oklahoma once the lawsuit to go before a criminal court. i think she acted extraordinarily recklessly so what my goal is is to berks file a motion to allow that jury to hear all the other victims that died as a result of that which is so the jury can get a picture of what she was doing here and there are many. women dying there's no reason why she should have been on that type of medication and each one especially diabetic. you think of the evidence has absolutely failed to show. this and. the law is very clear about what is a murder case and what's not there is other cases involving. frankly with. egregious conduct in this. meeting you just see that make those or you just dismiss it it's very confident i'm still. here waiting for the doctor. should be brought in could we have an interview with her maybe later it is because dismissed it. all along the hearing dr nichols seems detached from the events surrounding her but they can look on her face. she will never speak as if none of this were her concern . the judge has reached a ruling and.

a free system of public education in what is now oklahoma, long before there was an oklahoma. 1841, we passed an act establishing free public education. why did we do it? well, for the same reason i think most of the rest of society does it, because you want to invest in the future. but i also think that our people and our possessions -- we had lost so much blood and treasure, that we knew this was going to be our home forever. it was promised to us. it was going to be our last stand. we ought to make the most of it. how do you do that? you look beyond what's happening right in front of you and you look towards the horizon. investing in education is a way to do that. now, you would predict that a people who were forcibly removed across the country, rounded up in stock aids at the hands of an unjust article, the treaty of knew choata. at the hands of a federal government that ignored its own supreme court, and had its economy, the cherokee economy, ripped apart, our way of life ripped apart, lost so many people, you would think it would take years and years, perhaps generations, before
