Passage
Sequoia’s System of Writing

Although few facts (1) exist regarding the life of the Native American named Sequoia, the information that is available (2) articulate and paint a colorful picture of this man (3) on the plains. Sequoia was born into the Cherokee Nation in approximately 1770; his (4) mother was a descendant of many (5) respected Cherokee chiefs. This provided Sequoia 35 with a secure social stature despite his unknown paternity.
Sequoia’s fame comes mainly from his (6) acknowledged development of a written Cherokee language. (7) Over a period of twelve years, Sequoia developed a syllabary consisting of over eighty characters. Unlike an alphabet, where each letter represents a basic sound of speech, a syllabary consists of written characters, (8) each of which represents a syllable. Remarkably, a person learning Cherokee using the syllabary is able to read and write the language in an extremely short period of time compared to the time it takes someone to master the English language. (9) Its use among the nation’s Cherokee people (10) spread quick, and soon Cherokee (11) reading materials were being widely published, even 41 though other tribes had no written language.
Religious missionaries quickly realized the advantages of translating sacred texts into the new Cherokee language, (12) so Bibles and other religious materials soon became widespread. Laws were also written using Sequoia’s symbols, and the first Native American newspaper, The Cherokee Phoenix, was also launched. Cherokee history was preserved through new written records, which included accounts and descriptions of ceremonial traditions and common customs.
[1] One peculiarity of this new Cherokee language was that (13) it does not instigate a literary explosion among the Cherokee people.
[2] Instead, the syllabary was used primarily as a recording device.
[3] Seemingly, no poetry, novels, or biographies emerged during that time.
[4] The syllabary elevated the Cherokee nation in the eyes of the rest of the world, and they became widely regarded as a learned people as a result.
[5] Sequoia’s system is still in use today, and anyone can discover it at a library or a computer.(14)
