A talk by Chris Skillern
This year, 2021, is the bicentennial of the Cherokee syllabary. In this talk, we'll look at the history of the syllabary, its development, and its inventor, Sequoyah. Then we'll talk about recent developments and what could lie ahead for the syllabary. I'll also talk about my personal journey, as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, beginning to learn the syllabary and working on making Cherokee typefaces.
