How did Sequoyah teach the Cherokee alphabet to his people?
The first real progress for teaching the language was in arkansas. Sequoya first wrote down something that one leader said, and then had his daughter come into the room and read what he had written. This convinced those leaders to allow Sequoya to teach the writing system to them. Sequoya then transcribed a speech by one of these leaders and took it back to the eastern tribes to read it to them. This convinced them that the system should be taught. Officially the Cherokee adopted the language system in 1825.
