1828 Antique Artifact Cherokee February News Newspaper Typeface Sequoya
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front page of the first edition of the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper, dated 21 February 1828. A true artifact from early America, this antique piece holds immense historical significance. The Cherokee Phoenix was a groundbreaking publication as it was printed in both English and the unique Cherokee script devised by Sequoya. The image transports us back to a time when Native American voices were beginning to be heard through their own written language. It symbolizes the resilience and determination of the Cherokee people to preserve their culture and communicate with others on their own terms. The photograph captures not only the physical appearance of this rare newspaper but also its essence as an important source of news for the Cherokee community. Its presence signifies a new era for Native Americans, where they could share their stories, struggles, and triumphs with each other and beyond. As we gaze upon this remarkable typeface that Sequoya created, we are reminded of his incredible achievement in developing a writing system that would forever change how information was disseminated among his people. This print is more than just an image; it represents a pivotal moment in history when Native Americans took control over their narrative.
