The name John Burnett may be unfamiliar to many people today, but it was quite well known to the Native Americans who endured the pain and suffering on the Trail of Tears.

It is this light post that serves as a monument to the horrible tragedy that struck the city of Stillwater, Oklahoma in November of 2015.

On April second my honors class went on a day trip to the Chickasaw Cultural Center. It is in Davis and near the Tushkahoma site in September. I had been to many cultural centers before, but I cannot remember if I had been to Chickasaw’s specifically. I went separate from the group due to colliding plans. Therefore, I went with my friends Allison, Alyssa, Alie, and Jordan. Driving to the Cultural Center our GPS sent us to a campground, so we had to turn around and ask for directions. Eventually,
