- Authors
BOUDREAU, JOAN
- Abstract
This article provides a historical overview of Cherokee printing and the development of the Sequoyah syllabary. Sequoyah invented the syllabary in the early 19th century, which was adopted by the Cherokee Nation in 1825. The first newspaper published by American Indians, the Cherokee Phoenix, was printed in both English and Cherokee using the syllabary. The article also discusses the Cherokee Advocate newspaper, which was published in the 1840s and covered Cherokee government activities and local news. The document concludes by mentioning the modern use of the Cherokee syllabary and provides references for further research.
