📝 One more art bear from Cherokee, NC, but this one may need some explanation. It is fashioned after the iconic image of Sequoyah, who famously developed the "syllabary" that allowed the Cherokee language to be written. The bear also features some of the symbols used.

The name of the sculpture is "Sequoyah Syllabeary". 😆

💡 It's a remarkable story where a person who was not literate understood the importance of a written language and then figured out how to develop one.

And, something that does not get enough press, his syllabary allows kids to learn to read in a fraction of the time that English does.

Here is also a sculpture honoring Sequoyah outside of the Museum of the Cherokee People.
