Sequoyah |

| Native Americans did not use a written language before the immigration of Europeans to America. In the early 1820s the Cherokee leader Sequoyah developed an alphabet and written language for his native tongue. Many Cherokee learned the new written language readily, and in 1828 they published the first Native American newspaper, written in both Cherokee and English. | ||||||
