OVER 125,000 NATIVE VOICES WERE SILENCED, BUT WE WILL NOT LET THEM BE FORGOTTEN.

125,000 Native Americans from the Cherokee, Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw tribes were forcibly removed from their homelands. Many never made it to the places they were forced to go. They fell on the Trail of Tears, where their voices were silenced forever. But today, we won't let them be forgotten.

Imagine being forced to leave your home, leaving behind everything you know and love. You’re compelled to walk hundreds of miles, through harsh weather, without enough food or water. The road ahead doesn’t lead to a better life, but to a journey filled with suffering and death.

On that cruel journey, the elderly, women, and children faced unimaginable hardships. They watched their loved ones fall, unable to help. Every step on the Trail of Tears brought them closer to death, as disease, starvation, and exhaustion slowly claimed their lives.

The Trail of Tears was not just a journey of migration—it was a brutal act aimed at erasing an entire culture, silencing voices, stories, and dreams of thousands of innocent people. It was a betrayal, not only to those who perished but to the future of these tribes.

Hello, I’m Layla Blackwood, a descendant of the Cherokee people. Growing up, I heard the painful stories of the Trail of Tears from my grandpa. These stories are not just history; they are an inseparable part of our identity. And I understand that to keep these memories alive, we must retell these stories—not just for ourselves, but for our children and future generations.

When I began this journey, I faced many challenges. How could I create a t-shirt that wasn’t just beautiful, but also deeply meaningful? I searched for the highest quality materials to ensure the product would be the best it could be. But the hardest part was how to design something simple yet powerful enough to convey the message I wanted to share.

To truly understand and transform this quote into a design,“Trail Of Tears: Where thousands of Native voices were silenced forever,” I spent months meticulously researching the history of the Trail of Tears—not just of the Cherokee, but also of the Creek, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw tribes. I read every available resource—history books, archived documents, and even little-known memoirs. I watched documentaries and interviews with the descendants of survivors.

Through every page, every film, every story, I felt the pain, resilience, and indomitable spirit of our ancestors. That’s why this quote isn’t just a permanent reminder of the pain they endured; it’s also a symbol of their strength and survival. This became the heart of the design, ensuring that this t-shirt would carry the deep meaning and power of our history.
