This story appeared in the Yahoo news:

An interesting article with implications on language, technology, and culture.

Apparently, Sequoyah was the man who created the Cherokee alphabet in the early 1800s, giving them a written language as well. I hope we see some Cherokee language ebooks in the future.

Which brings up the question, do any other American Indian nations have an alphabet? I simply don't know.
