The Trail of Tears Association (TOTA) is a non-profit, membership organization formed to support the creation, development, and interpretation of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. Designated as a national historic trail by Congress in 1987, the Trail commemorates the forced removal of the Cherokee people from their homelands in the southeastern United States to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in 1838 - 1839. In 1993, the Association entered into a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS) to promote and engage in the protection and preservation of Trail of Tears National Historic Trail resources; to promote awareness of the Trail's legacy, including the effects of the U.S. Government's Indian Removal Policy on the Cherokees and other tribes (primarily the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek, and Seminole); and to perpetuate the management and development techniques that are consistent with the National Park Service's trail plan. |

[jgflutes@yahoo.com] is the first and only flute
maker to have a flute played in outer space. One of my
river cane flutes was played on shuttle flight STS-113
and played aboard the space station. That flute was
placed into the American Indian museum in Washington two
weeks ago along with an Eagle feather that flew with it.
I am attaching a copy of the Smithsonian news. The
flutes will be 6 hole River Cane flutes and will be in
the key of F#. The flutes will be concert tuned and
lacquered. If you go to the Oregon Flute web page and go
to near the bottom of the page you will see my flutes
and my bio.
