The only native American groups to have written forms of language before contact with Europeans were the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mixtecs, Toltecs, Maya and their neighbours in Mexico and Central America.

A number of tribes in the USA and Canada developed writing systems after they had been exposed to the writing of Europeans, including the Cree, Cherokee and various others. Since these were inspired by and influenced by European writing, their status as purely native written language is more than suspect.
