Muskogean Charm Songs Among the Oklahoma Cherokees

Smithsonian Institution

This book explores the influence of Muskogean languages on Cherokee charm songs. It details how Cherokee medicine men use charm songs written in the Sequoyah syllabary, often in Muskogean languages like Creek or Natchez, and examines the adaptation of these languages into the Cherokee script and their integration into Cherokee magical practices.
