DEVELOPED OVER MANY CENTURIES and in many cultures, traditions based on medicinal plants and calls to the spiritual world were applied by so-called "medicine men" to address the challenges of daily life. Passed orally from generation to generation, shaman to shaman, these secret formulas were kept alive. From only one Native American culture do we have an accurate record of these chants, medicines, and methods. Among all the tribes within the present bounds of the United States, only the Cherokees had acquired a written language. By 1821 its creator, the legendary Sequoyah had created unique characters to capture the vocal sounds of Cherokee speech. Cherokee shamans were quick to take advantage of this wonderful new tool. No longer would they be forced to rely on memory alone. When James Mooney, author of this text, began his research on the Cherokee reservation of North Carolina, many of the Cherokee documents were decades old. Building a relationship with certain shamans he secured permission to record their formulas for posterity-with the caveat that he would not reveal their individual secrets to other shamans. With their cooperation, he was able to give us remarkable insight into an important element of Native American life, an element that included not only the Native American approach to treat illness and wounds but also to influence battles, romances, games, and more.

The Cherokees, the most important tribe in the formative years of the American Republic, became the test case for the Founding Fathers' determination to Christianize and "civilize" all Indians and to incorporate them into the republic as full citizens. From the standpoint of the Cherokees, rather than from that of the white policymakers, William McLoughlin tells the dramatic success story of the "renascence" of the tribe. He goes on to give a full account of how the Cherokees eventually fell before the expansionism of white America and the zeal of Andrew Jackson.

Many Anglo-Americans in the nineteenth century regarded Indian tribes as little more than illiterate bands of savages in need of “civilizing.” Few were willing to recognize that one of the major Southeastern tribes targeted for removal west of the Mississippi already had an advanced civilization with its own system of writing and rich literary tradition. In Literacy and Intellectual Life in the Cherokee Nation, 1820–1906, James W. Parins traces the rise of bilingual literacy and intellectual life in the Cherokee Nation during the nineteenth century—a time of intense social and political turmoil for the tribe. By the 1820s, Cherokees had perfected a system for writing their language—the syllabary created by Sequoyah—and in a short time taught it to virtually all their citizens. Recognizing the need to master the language of the dominant society, the Cherokee Nation also developed a superior public school system that taught students in English. The result was a literate population, most of whom could read the Cherokee Phoenix, the tribal newspaper founded in 1828 and published in both Cherokee and English. English literacy allowed Cherokee leaders to deal with the white power structure on their own terms: Cherokees wrote legal briefs, challenged members of Congress and the executive branch, and bargained for their tribe as white interests sought to take their land and end their autonomy. In addition, many Cherokee poets, fiction writers, essayists, and journalists published extensively after 1850, paving the way for the rich literary tradition that the nation preserves and fosters today. Literary and Intellectual Life in the Cherokee Nation, 1820–1906 takes a fascinating look at how literacy served to unite Cherokees during a critical moment in their national history, and advances our understanding of how literacy has functioned as a tool of sovereignty among Native peoples, both historically and today.
