This extensively researched work by a noted Canadian naturalist relies largely on the signs and gestures used by Cheyenne Indians. It features an extensive, alphabetically arranged vocabulary of over 1,700 terms (with French and German equivalents), accompanied by 700 of the author’s own illustrations of how to make a specific gesture for each word. Placement of nouns, pronouns, verbs, and other parts of speech, along with many other aspects of Indian sign language, are simply and briefly explained.

This book was a gift for a friend. We are both American Sign Language Interpreters. This book was on her "Wish List". I did take a quick peek at the book when it arrived. I would love to get a gift like this book anytime.
