Spelling in syllabary

[edit]

The article states that the spelling ᏎᏉᏯ (Se-quo-ya) is the one "often spelled in [modern] Cherokee", but in my research, the spelling ᏏᏉᏯ (Si-quo-ya) is much more popular among modern Cherokee sources, including the Cherokee Phoenix and the official documentation of the Cherokee tribes. Why isn't it treated as the modern canonical spelling? MrSwedishMeatballs (talk) 20:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tell Them They Lie: The Sequoyah Myth

[edit]

The work "Tell Them They Lie: The Sequoyah Myth'' should be discussed in this article. It presents another view of Sequoyah and his role, one supported by some Cherokee. In many ways the story presented by Traveller Bird is more in line with what we know about lnaguage and writing. It is much more believable that Sequoyah publicized an existing writing system that had previously a highly guarded secret, than that he invented it. That also makes the Cherokee keeping it make sense. This works should at least be discussed and reacted to. It needs to be considered when speaking of Sequoyah.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:28, 6 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

Death Valley Days

[edit]

An episode of the 1950s TV program Death Valley Days (season 3, episode 7) is supposed to be the story of Sequoia. It does not match a lot to the Wikipedia article. ~2026-18079-34 (talk) 01:47, 23 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
