For twelve years he worked to devise a method of writing for the Cherokee language. His syllabary of eighty-five symbols representing syllables was approved by the Cherokee chiefs in 1825. The straightforward system made possible a rapid spread of literacy throughout the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee also began to create written documents, including a constitution in 1827. The following year, the Cherokee Phoenix, a weekly bilingual newspaper, began publication in New Echota, Georgia."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Sequoyah was painted in Washington, D.C., in 1828 wearing his peace medal."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "Sequoyah, quien se alega era hijo de un tratante de pieles de Virginia con la hija de un jefe indio, invent\u00c3\u00b3 un m\u00c3\u00a9todo para escribir el idioma cherokee.
