This is a great history lesson, and a tribute to the vitality of the Cherokee people and their language. ᏩᏙ!

[@kyliedickson9345]

Cool. We talked in my Scout group tonight about Sequoyah. The kids will be excited to hear the Cherokee language. Thank you for posting!

[@dwatkins7272]

[@StellaPolaris-Topic]

And as a Cherokee descendant, it's been quite the experience to have read the Bhagavat Gita. Thanks for opening your mind to us! Blessings and peace on ya.

It's a gorgeous script and I'm glad the nation has kept it alive through the Information age

[@Metaldude1945]

I don't know anything about the linguistic situation within the Cherokee people, so I have some questions. Does everyone learn Cherokee in school? Do they learn to write and read it? Do all Cherokees still speak the language or is it just a percentage that speaks it? Could you go to a store and just start speaking Cherokee, or is English the language that is always spoken first? In what kind of situations is cherokee (not) used: work? school? at home? friends? neighbour and neighbourhood? Local government? Ceremonies (not christian per se)?

[@aschefields2140]

Ukima only a very small percentage still speak the language unfortunately, but I think people are starting to recognize the importamce of knowing the language of your people so people are starting to learn again. Also, since English is the dominant language it is usually spoken first.

[@sadalien9049]

It's not a class in most schools in the area. You have to go to a Cherokee immersion school to really get a handle on the language since almost all the native speakers are older than 70... 99% of people who speak Cherokee also speak English because it's needed for interacting with the government, etc. It's most often spoken in the immersion schools and at home. I'm almost positive there are translations within reservations, but I've never been to one so I can't say for certain.

[@sunshinesheila9]

Wonderful!!

[@meb777]

They used Cherokees soldiers in the military to relate messages.

[@unyieldingcreek1]

I am currently learning cherokee, or at least basic conversation. It is similar to my nation's tongue Choctaw, but the Syllabary is very hard to remember.

[@Liphted]

This is amazing

[@quetzalcoatl3242]

what does it mean "weh-lees-tlee" min 3:33? because the same word exists in nawatl language (the language of the aztecs), it is wote as "hueliztli" it means surely.

[@cassidygalaviz54]

it is actually "di-go-we-li-sgi" I think it means like a writer or someone who has to do something with writing

[@mixtecjaguar9824]

Sounds great

I believe this is a sample of one of the versions of the Cherokee Nation Consititution in Cherokee, though I cannot find which one. As it doesn't match one version I can find.

[@fnsilly8983]

I know Cherokee owned a large amount of slaves my mother is supposedly Cherokee. she does have really red skin. I was going to use those DNA test but I been doing some research and it said o need more than a DNA test to get into the nation. I want to learn this language and speak to natives on a regular basis. I was going to learn navajo and nauhtl because of those two being the one's I found still spoken from research. but I really don't know where to start. I hope as a man whose consider to be African American would seem like I'm being a culture vulture. I just in search of my ancestry. give me some advice.thanks

[@quetzalcoatl3242]

If you are really interested on Cherokee language and culture and you want to learn more about it. I encourage you to do it so. So good that today you can easily find a lot of resources in the internet and if you live in the States it would be great that you could spend a season in the community where they still speaking the language and learn it. I am currently learning Zapotec that is a native language of Mexico and it's great to discover another way to describe the world, to see the world with other eyes, I think that each language is like a window that allow us to see the world from other perspective.

[@HinduBoy]

Thank u for that first line... doing some googling now #trustnot #theseRezCritters #assimilated

[@freedomisntfree131]

DNA doesn't matter, lineage matters. Look on the DAWES ROLLS and find an ancestor of yours who lived in Indian Territory when the Rolls were taken. If they are on the Rolls, you only need to prove that is your ancestor through birth and death certificates. Keep in mind, many Indians didn't register out of fear of persecution. But, it's the only way to prove your heritage. The Eastern Band needs 1/4 blood quantum to be registered.

[@freedomisntfree131]

@@HinduBoy Neither of your statement's make any sense.

[@sunsetwolf1553]

that was amazing and very interesting. and I do have a question, why did the Cherokee Nation leader's not complain when they heard of the GM group's Jeep creating an SUV named the Cherokee?

[@CraigCornelius]

How do you know they didn't complain?

[@og-greenmachine8623]

Duh... We were HUNG for claiming our tribe at one time Same way pale face does EVERYTHING LIES THREATS & MURDER THAT USA🇺🇸

[@freedomisntfree131]

Why would we be upset that someone would honor us and our heritage? Not all of us are cry babies and touchy feely girly men. Don't believe everything the politicians tell you. Why is it wrong for our heritage to be a mascot? Just because guilty white women say it's wrong and want to feel offended for us? No thanks Grow a nut sack and stop feeling guilty for what your ancestors did.
