Sequoyah wanted his people to have the secret of the “ t a l k i n g l e a v e s ” as he called his books of white people, and so
he set out to design a writt e n f o r m o f C h e r o k e e . H i s c h i e f a i m w a s t o r e c o r d h i s p e o p l e ’ s a n c i e n t t r i b a l c u s t o m s . H e
began by designing pictographs for every word in the Cherokee vocabulary. Reputedly his wife, angry with him for
his neglect of garden and house, burned his notes, and he had to start over. This time, having concluded that picture-

to eighty-five characters, which he borrowed from the Roman, Greek, and Hebrew alphabets. He presented this
system to the Cherokee General Council in 1821, and it was wholeheartedly approved. The response was

objects and a smaller number. In his book “ The Natural History of Selboure ” (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White
tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover’s nest , and how the mother laid another egg each
day to make up for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but
abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists that a certain type
of wasp always provides five – never four, never six - caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have
something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to
distinguish between o d d and even numbers of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can actually count. They
also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to
horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times.

survival as individuals - as in the case of food. There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the
abstract notion of numbers. Animals can “count” only when the objects are present and only when the numbers
involved are small – n o t m o r e t h a n s e v e n o r e i g h t . I n l a b e x p e r i m e n t s , a n i m a l s t r a i n e d to “count” one kind of object
