One of the first was created by Sequoyah, the leader of the Cherokee nation. It contained 85 characters, representing the syllables of the Cherokee language. It was used as far back as 1828, in the "Cherokee Phoenix," the first newspaper published by what were then called Indians (and today are called Native Americans). The newspaper was bilingual-- English and Cherokee. I enclose a link to some information about it, which includes images of what written Cherokee looked like.
