Title
One Summer more corn planting
Description
Four Cherokee students planted corn in Georgia near the home of Cherokee Chief Major Ridge. Just before the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee were told that they had "but one summer more to plant corn in this country." We planted corn and (hopefully) told the world that we were still here.
