#OnThisDay in 1828, the Cherokee Phoenix published its first issue. It was the first newspaper issued by Native Americans, and the first issued in a Native American language (it was published in both English and Cherokee, using the Cherokee syllabary created by Sequoyah). Through years of ups and downs, hardships, triumphs, and closures, the Cherokee Phoenix is once again available as a broadsheet or online at cherokeephoenix.org #HistoryGetsLIT
