Nunna daul Isunyi
High mountans over the land of our fathers
were good to die
1838 Tears from my people
Singing "Amazig Grace" untill the end.
Saving the native future on the way to Oklahoma
Tony was partial Cherokee on his fathers side and was interested in all things Native American. His brother Bill found in Blythe,California a bunch of black and white pottery shards, older than black and white shards known before. He often felt unaccepted by other Native Americans, being rather fair skinned. He cherished his history however. This painting is a mixed medium: oil and pastels. He has done many other paintings about The trail of Tears. This wonderful drawing is in Antwerp, other pieces are in the USA.
