DeLanna Studi dreamed of following the footsteps her ancestors were forced to travel along the Trail of Tears. In 2015 the Cherokee actor, writer, and activist embarked on a six-week journey to retrace the path her great-great-grandparents took in the 1830s when they were forced to relocate from their homelands with more than 17,000 Cherokee people. A powerful one-woman show honoring Indigenous people everywhere, "And So We Walked" recounts her incredible 900-mile journey to truly understand her own identity and the conflicts of her nation.⁠ ⁠ Tonight, in an exclusive virtual event for the Moss, Studi performs excerpts from the play and engages in a conversation with Mae Hey, assistant professor of American Indian Studies at Virginia Tech.⁠ ⁠ Join us at 7:30 p.m. EDT.⁠ Tickets are just $10⁠ FREE for Virginia Tech students
