This well-preserved 1972 edition of “Cherokee Words with Pictures” offers a unique glimpse into the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the Cherokee Nation. Published during the height of the American Indian Movement, this book served as a valuable resource for preserving and promoting the Cherokee language, which had faced suppression and near-extinction due to the devastating effects of forced relocation and assimilation policies. Featuring a simple yet effective format of Cherokee words accompanied by illustrations, this volume would be a prized addition to any collection focused on Native American studies, linguistics, or the history of the Cherokee people. Beyond its educational value, this book stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Cherokee Nation in safeguarding their language and traditions against the tide of cultural erasure.
