"Talking Without Words in the Old West" (2009)

[@lauranicholls9421]

Sign language is a very beautiful way of communicating. Thanks for sharing..🔥

[@gruberjens4354]

This is fascinating to learn. I'm blown away just the concept of having a organized sign language to make interactions between different nations/tribes less difficult

[@zhenxinbei726]

I substitute, and as the class is studying particular tribes of Native Americans, I asked a thinking question ... which was to name different ways they communicated. Once I got home, I looked and ran across this informative video! I never knew sign language or hand talk was used. This was so interesting, I plan to share it next time I see them. ,,😊🤔😊

I am a Serbian,living in Vietnam and I will continue to carry love for native americans where ever i go around the world. There is so much in their culture,only if U.S. managed to embrace it,it would make them culturally speaking richer in every sense.But no...they decided to liberate themselves from Brits and build their house on bloody foundations. Everybody reaps what they sew.

Napé uŋ wóglaka👍 (to speak by using hands) Question: in the Ikče iyapi (Indigenous languages) I've learned about the word order is so-called backwards compared to Wašičuiyapi (English) ex. Thípi čík'ala. = Little house. Mni kȟáta. = Hot water. So does anyone know if ikče wíyutȟapi ( Indigenous sign language) follows the same rule, or would it change with the speaker's language rules? I ask because I've seen videos where they were signing using English word order. Philámayaye.

[@winros]

I'm so intrigued I am coda both my parents were born deaf so I speak American Sign language however, there was a lot of similarity in the way they signed as well common Sense can you kind of tell you that! I knew that natives used sign language however, I didn't think twice about it until tonight...and I am so over the moon!

[@isabelsmith3775]

i believe native american sign language had some influence on asl but dont quote me on that

[@winros]

@isabelsmith3775 Yes, it did!

[@donjohnston3767]

Anyone know the Huron or Wendat hand signs?

[@NeutralZoneEnigmas]

It was the rule..... BEFORE GENOCIDE!!!

[@tommygamba170]

So you mean the first sign language

[@teresafernandez9849]

A lot of Native ppl had a sign language. Even some tribes in South West, Mexico and South America. My grandparents both used jesters at times, not often but we knew what they ment. Also the whistle language was used by the Natives.

[@utej.k.bemsel3199]

[@redhouse1002]

Sign language not really used among the Ind. nations in the east, not like it was on the Plains. More people were multi-lingual.

[@christopherellis2663]

The USA has no official language. Canada has at least two. I have a half dozen that I am good at, and a few more that I know a little of, here in Europe

[@mgmassey174]

Unfortunately, America is a place that eradicated other cultures, not respect them Heard about the Residential schools? In an insular, colonial culture, assimilation was the goal. Now, white people get mad at people if they speak their language. I don't even know mine because my ancestors were beaten if they spoke it Those are facts. Wabanaki People of the Dawn channel

Humans have used hundreds of ways to communicate without writing for ever and still do. With whistles, clicks, clothing, reflections, drawings, hair, structures, things they carried with them like a weapon, totem poles, stone carvings, mounds, face paint or tatoos, sign language, knots, claps, chomping teeth, blinking, hand gestures and sign language ( sign language itself has h7ndreds of different forms around the world just like the many different spoken languages), animals (pigeons, dogs, rats, pigs , almost every ani.al has been used to communicate long distance, or in war, or to communicate wi5h their Gods, smiles or frowns don't mean the same everywhere, feet stomping, and so many many many more like pins or stars on a Military uniform and the uniform itself, white lab coat, tubans and thousands of other head wear, smoke, banging sticks together, or a message stick, spinning a bullroarer instrument, and all instruments, body movements and everything else including smells

The people used sign language to speak to other tribes that spoke differently. More importantly though they used sign language when they didn't want the wetiko to know what they were saying.

[@AudioPervert1]

btw.. they were not Indians - Indians live in India. They were the indigenous original humans of the two new continents called the New World, by savage europeans, carrying Guns, Germs and Steel. So many of these sketches show the Natives On Horses, when there were ZERO HORSES in North and South America before the arrival of the Europeans.
