I would doubt it since native americans didn't write. They gave oral history to their descendants.

Not in the US, but some of the central American tribes had writing systems of one kind or another. There was also the terribly pseudo-writing of pictorial representation and symbolism used in Wampum belts and to record some things, but these did little but serve as memory keys to help someone recall what he heard orally; close but still a few centuries away from a writing system, at least in my book.

Supposedly there have been some Ogham, old Irish, writing found in North America, but it could just as well be fakes or caused by plow blades or weathering; it's such a squared off system. Cuneiform, no, it has never been in the USA that I'm aware of.

I won't say "writings" ,yet. It just has never been found just yet. You see, the mound builders of the Minnesota valley has been kept at bay by the native American tribes for years, as their own. One way or the other, there is something there. Just as in the "Folsom" points, someone there has had to put something down, it just hasn't been found yet.
A race that could make a beautiful, well balanced spear point that takes an old world craft mans ship, has to be able to pursue his ideas to others and set them down. On clay, something, we just haven't found them yet.

So much more seems to be coming out of the Swamps and everglades of the American Southeast that it is amazing more hasn't been found.
As American builds and advances, we will eventually find something.

No. Joe Smith was a con artist and a liar. He was the L. Ron Hubbard of his day.
