Sequoyah: Man of Many Words

Part of the award-winning Beginner Biography series.

Sequoyah (c. 1770–1843) was a Cherokee silversmith and scholar who created the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system for the Cherokee language. His innovation enabled the Cherokee Nation to have a written language, promoting literacy and cultural preservation. Sequoyah's syllabary remains a significant achievement in Native American history.
