Memorial Site. The Cherokees carried hot coals from their council fire at Red Clay on the removal to Oklahoma. In the 1950s, the flame was transported to Cherokee, North Carolina, and then in April 1984, ten Cherokee runners with torches returned the fire to Red Clay, demonstrating that the Cherokee spirit is unquenchable. Inscription: This Fire is a Memorial to Those People Who Suffered and Died on the Infamous Trail of Tears. It Also Commemorates the Reuniting of the Eastern and Western Cherokee Nations Here at Red Clay. Aug. 7, 1837 - April 6, 1984. (bio by: Dustin Oliver)
