Notes


This children’s book introduces Native American sign language as used by various Plains tribes to communicate across language differences. Through simple hand signals, members of communities without a shared spoken language were able to exchange information and convey basic messages. The book demonstrates how these gestures were used to communicate simple ideas, presenting the subject in an accessible and instructional format for young readers.
