The Cherokee Nation

Long before the white man came to the America,the land belonged to the American Indian nations. The nation of the Cherokeeslived in What is now the southeastern part of the United States.

After the white man came, the Cherokees copiedmany of their ways. One Cherokee named Sequoyah saw how important reading andwriting was to the white man. He decided to invent a way to write down thespoken Cherokee language. He began by making word pictures. For each word hedrew a picture. But that proved impossible-there were just too many words. Thenhe took the 85 sounds that made up the language. Using this own imagination andan English spelling book, Sequoyah invented a sign for each sound. His alphabetproved amazingly easy to learn. Before long, many Cherokees knew how to readand write in their own language. By 1828, they were even printing their ownnewspaper.

In 1830, the U.S. Congress passed a law. Itallowed the government to remove Indians from their lands. The Cherokeesrefused to go. They had lived on their lands for centuries. It belonged tothem. Why should they go to a strange land far beyond the Mississippi River?

The army was sent to drive the Cherokees out.Soldiers surrounded their villages and marched them at gunpoint into thewestern territory. The sick, the old and the small children went in carts,along with their belongings. The rest of the people marched on foot or rode onhorseback. It was November, yet many of them still wore their summer clothes.Cold and hungry, the Cherokees were quickly exhausted by the hardships of thejourney. Many dropped dead and were buried by the roadside. When the last grouparrived in their new home in March 1839, more than 4,000 had died. It wasindeed a march of death.
