has lost 1,880 square miles of land, an area roughly the size of the state of Delaware and equating to the loss of 25 to 35 square miles per year. Up to an additional 1,750 square miles stand to be lost if no action is taken, and Louisiana’s wetlands will disappear in 200 years at the current rate of loss. Both human and natural causes are responsible, including the altering of natural hydrology through construction of canals, the dredging and filling of land for agriculture and development

because it was easier for navigation purposes. Based on your examination of the map, why did some Cherokee first travel north before heading west to the Indian Reservations?
