TRAIL OF TEARS STATE PARK
I'm learning Typography Design and a good way to be inspired is to take advantage of what is in our surrounding. I live in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Midwest USA. Cape is a beautiful small city whi many sightseeing from the past. Trail of Tears State Park is a state-owned, public recreation area covering 3,415 acres (1,382 ha) along the Mississippi River inCape Girardeau County, Missouri. The state park stands as a memorial to those Cherokee Native Americans who died on theCherokee Trail of Tears.[3] The park's interpretive center features exhibits about the Trail of Tears as well as displays and specimens of local wildlife. An archeological site in the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
This historic park is one of the few documented sites of actual trail and campsites used during the forced removal of the Cherokee people to "Indian Territory". It was used as an encampment in 1838 and 1839. This park is the burial site for two Cherokee Chiefs who died during the removal - Fly Smith and Whitepath. This long, cruel relocation has become known as the "Trail Of Tears" and by Native Americans as "The Trail Where They Cried".
Every year on the first full weekend after Labor Day, the Trail Of Tears Commission sponsors an intertribal PowWow at the park. A PowWow is a gathering of Native American people to celebrate their rich heritage; to socialize with old friends and make new ones and an opportunity to expose non-indians to the centuries old tradition of the various dances and Native American crafts; and to educate the PowWow visitors with story telling and Indian lore demonstrations Children also enjoy visiting our PowWow.
I thought a very nice typography design will make people the desire to know more about the park, and maybe to come visit it someday.
Thank u for viewing and Appreciate my work ^_^
