Want to help place a Trail of Tears memorial in Steelville?
DONATE TO the Steelville trail of tears remembrance committee with Venmo
The Steelville Trail of Tears Remembrance Committee is raising money to place a permanent monument at one of the encampment sites discovered by Erin Whitson and her team. Renowned Cherokee and Pawnee artist Daniel HorseChief has created the conceptual design for a 10-foot bronze statue titled “The Trail”. The statue depicts a falcon rising from tears and flames like an ascending phoenix, with figures representing the diversity of human experiences along the Trail of Tears.
