1. TRADUCTION

From line 3 to line 9:

C'est arrivé en 1838. Nous étions chassés de nos demeures au sud des terres d'Appalache qui se situaient au Tennessee dans la Caroline du Nord. Toute notre histoire fait partie de ses montagnes parce qu'on a toujours été la-bas, jusqu'à ce que les immigrés européens eurent décrétés que nos terres heurtaient trop leurs fermes. Alors un matin, l'armée bloqua les portes de nos maisons, ils volèrent les nourritures et les vaisselles, mirent le feu aux maisons et emmenèrent tous le monde aux camps de détention. Les familles furent diviser, personnes ne savaient ce qu'il se passait. Ils firent marcher tous le monde vers l'ouest jusqu'à des terres sans valeurs que personnes ne voulaient.
