</P><P>If there is one group in our culture that deserves this honor, it is the American Indian and the many who have American Indian blood in their veins. Our local historian, Bill Woodiel, has done so much towards the recognition of the Trail of Tears. What caused the Trail of Tears was absolutely disgraceful. A removal of people from their very successful plantations and forcing them into the wilds of the Oklahoma territory.</P><P>An example as a descendant is actor <SPAN id="groowe-highlight">James Garner</SPAN>, who is from Oklahoma and is half Cherokee and active in American Indian organizations.
