Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian, son of a white trader and an Indian

woman. At an early age, he became fascinated by “ the talking leaf”, an

expression that he used to describe the white man’s written records. Although

many believed this “ talking leaf” to be the gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah

refused to accept the theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate

but his determination to change the situation led to the invention of a unique 86-

character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard.

His family and friends thought him mad, but while recovering from a

hunting accident, he diligently and independently set out to creat a form of

communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after

twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that

would enable thousands of Indians to read and write. Sequoyah’s desire to

preserve words and events for later generations has caused him to be

remembered among the important inventers. The giant redwood trees of

California called “ sequoias” in his honor will further imprint his name in

history.

A. Clifornia redwoods were named in his honor

B. He was illiterate

C. He created a unique alphabet

D. He recovered from his madness and helped mankind

2. How did Sequoyah’s family react to his idea of developing his own “ talking

leaf”

A. They arranged for his hunting accident

B. They thought he was crazy

C. They decided to help him.

D. They asked him to teach them to read and write.

3. What caused Sequoyah to develop his alphabet?

A. People were writing things about him that he couldn’t read

B. He wanted to become famous

C. After his hunting accident, he needed something to keep him busy.

D. He wanted the history of his people preserved for future generations

4. How would you describe Sequoyah?

A. determined B. mad C. backward D. gentle

5. Which of the following is not true?
