The Cherokee Chief Who Massacred an Entire Slave Patrol to Save Five Runaways — Georgia, 1839
The year the Trail of Tears began, the land itself seemed to mourn. The Cherokee were being driven west — their homes burned, their dead buried without names. But in the dense forests near the Etowah River, one man refused to leave. His name was Chief Tayanita, and his heart still beat for the soil of his ancestors. One night, as thunder rolled over the hills, he heard the cries — five runaway slaves, cornered by a slave patrol, hunted like beasts beneath the lightning.
