Here's a filled-out worksheet for creating a Funko Pop figure for John Ross, a key figure in Georgia's Westward Expansion history:


Character Name: John Ross

Where are they from? John Ross was primarily from the Cherokee Nation, specifically from the area now known as Georgia.

Drawing of your Funko Pop: (Use your creativity to draw or use a Funko Pop design template. Since visual elements can't be generated in this text format, I suggest visiting the Funko Pop creator website to make your design or drawing your interpretation.)

When were they alive? John Ross was born on October 3, 1790, and died on August 1, 1866.

What were they known for? John Ross was known for being a prominent leader of the Cherokee Nation, advocating for the rights of the Cherokee people, and opposing their forced removal from their ancestral lands during the Trail of Tears.

Accessories (describe at least two accessories your Funko Pop would come with):

  1. A miniature scroll or a document representing the treaties he signed with the U.S. government, advocating for Cherokee rights.
  2. A small model of a traditional Cherokee home (a wigwam) to signify his deep connection to his culture and the land.

Why is this person important to Georgia’s history? What was their legacy:
John Ross is an important figure in Georgia's history as he was a staunch advocate for the Cherokee Nation during a time of great turmoil and injustice. His leadership was crucial during the resistance against the Indian Removal Act, which led to the tragic Trail of Tears, where thousands of Cherokees were forcibly relocated. Ross's legacy is one of resilience and advocacy for Native American rights, and he is remembered for his efforts to protect the Cherokee people's identity and sovereignty during one of the darkest chapters in American history.
