About the Show

Native artist DeLanna Studi recounts her heritage with a 900-mile journey across the Trail of Tears.

A powerful and dramatic memoir following DeLanna Studi and her father's epic journey to connect with their Native American heritage. The journey retraces a path Studi's own ancestors took centuries ago as a result of the forced relocation of tens of thousands of indigenous Cherokee people. So We Walked draws on a collection of interviews, anecdotes, and historical research to convey and honor the resilience of the indigenous.
