Best Answer

Most native American peoples in North and South America had no writing system of any kind; it was only the Central American civilisations that had writing before European contact, then some tribes (such as the Cherokee) developed a writing system based entirely on the books, newpapers and documents they were exposed to in white culture.

The Cheyenne and the Plains tribes in general never had any written language of any kind. They used pictograms as a kind of memory aid, either to mark the passage of years ("Winter Counts") or to commemorate notable war deeds - but this is not writing, since it does not record language.
