Sequoya
{suh-kwoy'-uh}
Sequoya, or George
Guess, born. ca.1760, died Aug. 1843, buried in Zaragoza, Coahuila, Mexico
is credited with
the invention of the Cherokee written language, the so-called talking leaves.
As a young man he was a fine hunter, warrior, trader, and silver craftsman.
An able linguist who learned French, Spanish, and English, he was determined
to preserve Cherokee culture and was implacably opposed to American intrusions
into his tribal lands. After continued white encroachments, however, Sequoya
journeyed westward (1797), although he returned periodically to his homeland.
Recognizing the
power of the written word, Sequoya developed a Cherokee syllabary of 86 symbols
by adapting letters of the English alphabet to represent sounds in the Cherokee
tongue. The generally accepted date for its completion is 1821, although Cherokee
tradition dates the syllabary earlier. Although there is some question whether
Sequoya was its inventor, he certainly popularized the syllabary, which led
to the founding of the Cherokee Phoenix, a Cherokee language newspaper, on Feb.
21, 1828.
