    Native American Student Association (NASA) will host a Remember the Removal Dinner at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, in the Baird Hall Performance Studio,

    Remember the Removal Dinner will be an event at which two Remember the Removal riders – NASA member Samantha Cavin and Amaiya Bearpaw – will be sharing their experiences on the Remember the Removal ride.

    The Remember the Removal ride recreates the original Trail of Tears route as a 950-mile bike ride, connecting Cherokee riders to their ancestors who made the same journey on foot. The entire ride takes three weeks total, and stretches from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to New Echota, Georgia.

    Additionally, Cherokee Trail of Tears Association Executive Director Troy Wayne Poteet will be guest speaker, sharing the history of the Association and its mission to identify, protect and preserve the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail resources and promoting awareness of the Trail’s legacy.

    Following the presentations, an Indian Taco dinner will be served.
