OsiyoTV documents the 2015 Remember the Removal Bike Ride as 19 Cherokees retrace their ancestors’ steps on the Trail of Tears. It’s an emotional journey meant to teach the cyclists what it means to be Cherokee. Each cyclist spends months preparing for the three and a half week experience.
The Remember the Removal Bike Ride is challenging for the cyclists, both physically and emotionally. They conquer their fears, learn their history and experience, first hand, what it truly means to be Cherokee.
As the cyclists arrive in the capitol of the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, they tell us what the’ve learned from the three-week long journey and how they’ll carry a message forward.
