Find words in the passage that mean:
(i) Woman (ii) Enchanted (iii) Recovering (iv) Earnestly (v) Protect Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian, son of a white trader and an Indian
squaw. At an early age, he became fascinated by ―the talking leaf,‖ an expression
that he used to describe the white man‘s written records. Although many believed
this ―talking leaf‖ to be a gift from the Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept
that theory. Like other Indians of the period, he was illiterate, but his
determination to remedy the situation led to the invention of a unique eighty-six-
character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard.
His family and friends thought he had become mad, but while recuperating from a
hunting accident, he diligently and independently set out to create a form of
communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after
twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that
would enable thousands of Indians to read and write. Sequoyah‘s desire to
preserve words and events for later generations has caused him to be remembered
among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called
‗sequoias‘ in his honour, will further imprint his name in history.
