<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 4878760, member: 90913&quot;]Another one in the series with a cool story is Sequoyah.&nbsp; Before its release, I&#039;ve always assumed that all languages have both spoken and written forms.&nbsp; Well, turns out that the Cherokee tribe never had a written form of communication until Sequoyah developed it (after he saw that Westerners were able to write down words)! As expected, there were resistance and skepticism at first so his only student was his own daughter.&nbsp; One day (according to the story), he had the Chief say something to his daughter while he was out of earshot.&nbsp; His daughter wrote it down and then he returned to read aloud what the Chief had said.&nbsp; That impressed the elders in the tribe.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.usacoinbook.com/us-coins/600/2017-sacagawea-native-american-dollar.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
