And So We Walked

And So We Walked: An Artist’s Journey Along the Trail of Tears DeLanna Studi, a Cherokee performance artist, writer, and activist, dreamed of one day tracing the footsteps of her ancestors along their path of forced relocation, and finding a way to share their tragic yet triumphant legacy with audiences around the country. In a captivating, tour-de-force solo performance, she embarks on that 900-mile journey with her aging father, hoping to truly understand her own identity and her relationship to the modern Cherokee Nation. But doing so might require her to reckon with parts of herself she’s not ready to face. Slipping deftly between the past, present, and dream world, And So We Walked is a powerful and inspiring theatrical memoir that draws on extraordinary interviews, history, and the artist’s personal experience traveling the Trail of Tears.
