Beginning at 10 am, this 45 minute program will focus on Brainerd Mission’s connection with the Cherokee and its closure as a result of Indian Removal. The Reverend Daniel Buttrick, a missionary at Brainerd, remembered the scenes of removal by recording that the Cherokee’s exposure to the wind and rain, not to mention them being herded “together, men, women and children, like droves of hogs” hastened many to a premature grave. Come learn about the plight of the Cherokee, some of whom were educated at Brainerd, and were forced from their homes, leading to Ross’ Landing and whatever lay beyond.
