Sequoyah originated the Cherokee Indian alphabet. Two miles east of this spot is New Echota, the last Indian capital in Georgia, where Sequoyah lived. The Cherokee Phoenix, the only newspaper edited in an Indian language, was published here. An Indian cemetery is at New Echota, where an important treaty ceding lands to the United States was signed.
