A Native to Know

Sequoyah (1770-1843), Cherokee, developed a syllabary for the Cherokee langauge and opened many new doors for his fellow people. It took Sequoyah 12 years to finish his work, and he will be remembered as one of the only people in world history to create an entire syllabary on his own.

Quotes

"In our story of Creation, we talk about each one of us having our own path to travel, and our own gift to give and to share. You see, what we say is that the Creator gave us all special gifts; each one of us is special. And each one of us is a special gift to each other because we've got something to share."
--John Peters (Slow Turtle), WAMPANOAG

Everyone makes his feast as he thinks best, to please the Great Spirit, who has the care of all created beings. BLACK HAWK SAUK

"Dissimilar things were fitted together to make something beautiful and whole." -Nippawanock, ARAPAHOE - Grandfather, today, let me see the beauty of the whole.
