One step at a time.TAHLEQUAH — Officials wanted literally everything to be written in Cherokee at the tribe’s new $20 million language center — restroom signs, office names, even the “wash your hands before returning to work” posters next to the sinks.
But Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. wondered about the “exit” signs.
“We could do them in Cherokee,” Hoskin said, “but it becomes a safety issue.”
Even among tribal citizens, only a fraction of visitors would know what the signs meant.
After giving it some thought, however, Cherokee officials found a way to avoid compromising on the no-English-allowed rule. Instead of spelling out the word, the facility’s exit signs use a pictogram of a human figure running through a doorway.
