Cherokee glossary

Abstract

This Cherokee glossary was written by George Masa on the stationary of his business, Asheville Photo Service. The words are written phonetically rather than in the Cherokee syllabary. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.Phone 404 P. O.
