According to the Cherokee One Feather, “The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) has selected six tribal members to join riders from the Cherokee Nation in June 2025 on the annual Remember the Removal Ride (RTR). The ride will retrace the northern route of the Trail of Tears. The EBCI riders selected as candidates are Freida Saylor, Nathaniel Cummings-Lambert, Tyra Maney, TW Saunooke, Jamy Queen, and Daryl Martin.” NCTOTA provides support for the riders as they prepare for and complete this annual event.
