The Cherokee Nation, also known as the Principal People, lived in log cabins and had a confederacy of towns, each ruled by a supreme chief. In 1821, Sequoyah developed the first Indian alphabet in which each character represented a syllable. This system produced literacy and the printing of the first Indian newspaper, The Cherokee Phoenix, in 1828. Sadly, the state of Georgia passed a law that made the Cherokee Nation laws null and void after June 1, 1830. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the Cherokees.
