Plains Indian Sign Language Conference 1930, Browning

Plains Indian Sign Language - Tom White Horse - In 1930, sign talkers from 14 different Plains nations gathered at Browning, Montana as participants in a conference organized by General Hugh L. Scott for the purpose of demonstrating their use of sign language. I have translated the direct literal meaning of the signs in this film to English. Though I have added a little more than the literal meaning in some cases when more was meant by the signer using space, position, combination of signs. www.tommyfoley.com

My mum and family could know of things coming in our family, accidents, death's, places, and upsets. These things are in many people, but they feel ashamed to talk about this, as it is looked upon as you are strange, also I have noticed the more you talk about these things the less they happen, I have lost my ability. ?

Thank you for sharing this video and information,

Love Light and Peace,

Colin.
