Today is a US holiday that honors the histories and cultures of people indigenous to North America. But there are indigenous people all over the world. Let’s see what wayspots are out there that honor these people globally.
I’m going to dig for good ones and post later.
This is not a great image, but it’s an information board talking about the Hightower Trail. The Hightower trail is an old “road” that was used by Cherokee and Creek tribes (might have served as a border between their territories). It was part of a network of trails that led from what we know now as Augusta, Ga, all the way through to Alabama. This location is where it crossed the Chattahoochee River. There are other markers around the area at spots along this trail.
As a gruesome reminder of why we have days like this, we also have markers like this about the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Nation was forceably removed from their land and driven to a land very far away and very different from their home.
