Vision of Elohi
Edited
by Virginia M. Sobral and Howard L. Meredith, translated by Wesley Proctor,
illustrated by America Meredith
"The
Elohi belongs to the whole Cherokee people as no other oral or written
tradition does," writes Howard Meredith in the introduction. "Elohi"
means Earth, world view, and the oral history of the Cherokee people. In
fact, an archaic spelling of Cherokee is "Chelohi" or "I
am of the Earth." The oral history traces migration, warfare, contact
with other cultures, and a vision of the future. The Elohi offers a rare
traditional perspective to Cherokee history, more commonly interpreted
by outsiders. The entire work is translated into Cherokee and printed
in the Sequoyah syllabary. It should provide excellent practice material
for anyone trying to learn the Cherokee language. Meredith's introduction
won the Westerner's International 1999 Coke Wood Award for best treatise
on a single subject.
