Sequoyah Award Nominees
2012-2013
With this award, Oklahoma honors the Native American leader Sequoyah, for his unique achievement in creating the Cherokee syllabary.
Sequoyah chose eighty-five symbols to represent all spoken sounds of the Cherokee language. In so doing, he created a way to preserve his people's language and culture. Each of the books below can be found in the Carnegie Elementary Media Center.
