More about the book

Focusing on the innovative contributions of Sequoyah, this study explores the development and impact of the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system that transformed literacy among the Cherokee people within five years. Author Ellen Cushman challenges traditional views by revealing that the syllabary was rooted in Cherokee syllables and meanings rather than alphabetic writing. The book traces the evolution of this significant cultural tool from its inception to its modern digital forms, highlighting its integral role in Cherokee identity.
