Indian sign language is not the international sign language used today. It includes terms and responses unique to tribal groups and individuals. Yet, at one time many tribes communicated in sign language if they did not share a common verbal language.
I am sorry to say this has become a dying form of communication that was at one time prevalent among Native North American people.
I remember growing up and seeing old men communicate quite frequently in sign language. Today, I still use some of these signals when I am among my father's and mother's people.
Do people in your community still use Indian sign language to communicate on a daily basis?
Is there someone in your community that still knows how to sign?
Do you know what the sign is for your tribe?
Do you know anybody that is able to teach "authentic" Indian sign language in a public setting??????
