"Uri Your Property With Us—We Sell The World”
Sequoyah Was Great
American Indian
BY GUS BERND,
Historical Research, Assistant,
Georgia Department of State
In the forests of California
the tourist sees huge trees re
many centuries old, to a Geor
gia Indian who was one of the
noblest red men of all time.
Exactly a century ago, in 1849,
these giant redwoods were
named "Sequoia” or “Sequa
yoh” in honor of the noted In
lian of that name who invented
the Cherokee Alphabet in Geor
gia.
The Cherokees, one of the five
{civilized Indian tribes, are per
jhaps the most intelligent of the
[ North American Indians. In
fact an eminent ante-bellum
Statesman, Congressman Henry
A. Wise of Virginia, once assert
ied that the Cherokees were
. probably more advanced in
| civilization than the people of
Georgia who were about them.
lln making the comparision the
■ Virginian indicated that he in
tended no dispargament of the
white people of Georgia. The
name Cherokee is believed to
come from the word “Atsila-gi
ga-i” — meaning “Red Fire
Men.” Since red was the Chero
kee emblem f^r bravery and
. bravery was derived from the
East or sunrise, the Cherokees
are thought of as brave men or
"children of the sun.” The
Cherokees of North Georgia,
owned more than a thousand'
slaves and tended a consider
able amount of land.
Sequoyah was called by the
whites George Gist, or Guest.J
or Guess. He was a half-breed
whose paternal ancestry is not
certain. It is generally believed I
today that his father was
Colonel Nathaniel Gist. His
mother was og good Cherokee
connections, was a sister of
Chiefs Doublehead and Old Tas
sel, and a relative of such
prominent Cherokees as Major
Ridge and Geo r ge Lowery. Se
quoyah was born in East Ten
nessee during the years im
mediately preceding the Ameri
can Revolution. The exact date
of his birth is uncertain. He
spent his youth in Tennessee
and later settled in Northwest
Georgia. He was injured while
on a hunting trip and crippled
for the remainder of his life;
but this debarment from physi
cal pursuits aided in the de
velopment of his mental pow
ers. Much of the fascinating
story of his invention is in a
manuscript left by John Payne,
author of “Home Sweet Home,”
who visited Sequoyah and was
working on Cherokee history
when he (Payne) died. George
Lowery, brother-in-law of Se
quoyah, is responsible for a
। great deal of the information
' gathered by Payne. Sequoyah
was never able to speak English
and never attended school.
While perfecting his alphabet,
he was ridiculed severly by his
family and associates who
thought he was making a foil
[ of himself. In regard to such at
titudes, Sequoyah told a friend:
"If ouy people think I am mak
ing a fool of myself, you may
tell our people that what I am
doing will not make fools of
them. They did not cause me to
begin, and they shall not cause
me to stop. If I am no longer
respected, what I am doing -will
make our people less respected,
either by themselves or others;
so I shall go on, and you may
tell our people.” Sequoyah’s own
wife was unsympathetic toward
his work on the alphabet. She
deliberately threw fruits of his
labors into the fire, thereby
making it necessary for him to
start over. The frist person to
learn the new alphabet was the
inventor’s six year old daugh
ter, Eye-o-kah. The news that
she had learned to read Chero
kee words electrified the Chero
kee Nation; and soon the
Cherokees had become a na
tino of redaers. The inventor
made written characters repre
sent sounds which were easily
combined to form complete
words There were 86 characters
in the Cherokee Alphabet,
which was completed by Se
quoyah in 1821.
Soon the Council of Chiefs
endorsed Sequoyah’s success;
and part of the Bible was print
ed In Cherokee. In 1822 he
visited the Cherokees In Arkan
sas and later was active among
the members in the territory o:
.Oklahoma SUU later he visited
California In search of a lost
tribe of the Cherokees who had
gone west in the Pre-Revolu
tionary years The State of Ok
lahoma honors him with a fig
ure placed in Statuary Hall of
t.he Capitol BtPlding in Wash
ington, D. C. Then is also a
jtatue of Sequoyah at Calhoun
। Georgia, and a Sequoyah Na-
I Donal Park in California
t Sequoyah died in August 1843
I while on a visit in Mexico. Hr
consistently refused to sell his
alphabet. though he did accept
I a small grant from the Federal
Government as a token ol rec
jagnition of his services to his
people The U 6 also appro
praited a sum of money for the
procurement of a printing press
to diffuse the language Chief
