2024年8月16日 · Sequoyah, also known as George Guess and George Gist, is best known for his development of the Cherokee syllabary, a notational system that transcribed the sounds of spoken Cherokee into a written form. But during his long life, Sequoyah played many roles in Cherokee society.

Sequoyah, the son of a Cherokee chief’s daughter and a fur trader from Virginia, was a warrior, a linguist and, some say, a silversmith. For twelve years, he worked to devise a method of writing for the Cherokee language. His syllabary of eighty-five symbols representing vowel and consonant sounds was approved by the Cherokee chiefs in 1821.

Sequoyah was an important member of the Cherokee group of Native Americans. He invented a system of writing so his people could read and write in their own language. Sequoia trees were named in his honor. Sequoyah was born in about 1760 or 1770 in what is now Tennessee. He was probably the son of a British trader named Nathaniel Gist.
