What children learn in Level 22

The Muscogee and Cherokee did amazing things. Muscogee towns joined together in the Creek Confederacy, and trading paths connected towns across the Southeast.
In 1821, Sequoyah created a way to write the Cherokee language. Soon, thousands of Cherokee people could read and write it!
In 1827, the Cherokee wrote a constitution: a written plan for their government. Their capital was New Echota.
In 1828, they printed the Cherokee Phoenix at New Echota, the first Native American newspaper, in both English and Cherokee.
