Sequoyah - A Great Leader

Sequoyah was a great leader in the Tribal Council. He took Ah-yo-keh, his daughter, with him to the Tribal Council meetings everyday. The white men thought Sequoyah had bad magic and set the cabin on fire to get rid of him. It destroyed all his years of hard work. He was making an alphabet for the Cherokees. Everyone wanted to learn how to read and write. Soon they started their own newspaper called the Cherokee Phoenix. Sequoyah was a great leader and his work was important.
