In the late summer of 1830, just months after signing the Indian Removal Act, President Andrew Jackson met with Chickasaw leaders in Franklin, Tennessee to negotiate their removal from homelands their ancestors had lived in for thousands of years. Old Times in Tennessee returns to this overlooked encounter not through reenactment or exposition, but through a layering of landscapes, architectural imagery, and archival text.

Filmmaker Rory Fraser will be in attendance and the screening will be followed by a Q&A. This event is sponsored by ETSU's School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Literature and Language.
