>> anna, we spent time with law enforcement both in the cities but the rural parts of oklahoma and itop. they were working around the clock to combat meth activity and in the rural parts of the state users have resorted to extremes to get their fix. cattle theft has been on the rise in oklahoma and it's pretty astou astounding, it seems unfathomable people would be stealing these massive cows to support drug activity but it's easy. cows are docile animals, they'll follow anyone and there's so many cattle auctions throughout the state of oklahoma that users can have cows moved out of the state within 24 hours and have thousands of dollars in their pockets for meth. >> you met with meth users whose parents, even grandparents were crystal meth addicts. how much harder does that make it to combat this problem when you have entire families addicted to the drug? >> that was one of the things that was most astounding, so many houses where law enforcement had gained entry, there were multiple generations. i mean, it was just really incredible and shock iing and is not getting easier because

a few years later, settlers arrive in oklahoma and want that land as well. jackson does run into an opponent. that opponent is the supreme court, because in 1831, the cherokee sue the state of georgia. it goes all the way to the supreme court, and chief justice john marshall rules in favor of the cherokee. he says, removing their land is unconstitutional. jackson, in typical manner, responds to chief justice marshall and says, justice marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it. and he completely ignores the decision and the indian removal goes through the most infamous episode, the trail of tears in 1838 and 1839. actually, okee -- we'll look a lil closer at cherokee civilization, because they made a really strong effort to try and comply. it wasn't enough. 15,000 of them removed from georgia to oklahoma on a journey on foot that was 116 days. terrible conditions. roughly one in four die of disease or malnutrition. that's 4000 cherokee. just to give you an idea, there's the route of the indian removal. this will give you an idea of how bad things
