Book Synopsis


Trade Review
In this timely, vital work, Ellen Cushman shares a parable of indigenous ingenuity and adaptability that affirms Cherokee literacy as a central pillar in the tribe's will to flourish as a people. She persuasively argues that Sequoyah's writing system performs a primary role in Cherokee language, religion, land, and sacred history. This powerful book will reshape Cherokee studies as we know them."" - Sean Kicummah Teuton, author of Red Land, Red Power: Grounding Knowledge in the American Indian Novel
