Based on comprehensive fieldwork in the community of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in western North Carolina, this text uses a semiotic strategy to investigate the historic and modern role of the Sequoyan syllabary—the documented system for representing the sounds of the Cherokee language—in Eastern Cherokee life.
<h3>The Cherokee syllabary</h3>
The Cherokee syllabary was created in the 1820s by the respected Cherokee Sequoyah. The syllabary quickly replaced alternative writing plans for Cherokee and was reportedly in widespread use by the mid-nineteenth century. After that, literacy in Cherokee declined, except in specialized religious contexts. But as Bender shows, recent good in cultural revitalization among the Cherokees has increased the use of the syllabary in schooling, publications, and even signage.
