Description:
Plains Indian Sign Talk (PST), a complex system of hand signs, once served as the lingua fanca among many Native American tribes of the Great Plains who spoke very different languages. Some researchers thought it had disappeared following the establishment of reservations and the widespread adoption of English, but in this study Brenda Farnell documents that PST is still and integral component of the storytelling tradition in contemporary Assiniboine (Nakota) culture.
