Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Have you ever wondered how Crow, Sioux, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Arapaho Indian tribes communicated when they gathered for council meetings, buffalo hunts, and trade meetings? Since they spoke many different languages, they developed an extensive sign language to express their ideas. By practicing their sign language and using it among your friends, you can soon develop great skill in an ancient art that is still used by Native Americans.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent short text for multiculturalism classes, December 7, 2007
By Charles Ashbacher "(cashbacher@yahoo.com)" (Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This book is an excellent short text for classes in the history of multiculturalism. The Native Americans had a simple and effective universal language that was used to communicate between tribes. When tribal councils met, communication was via the sign language demonstrated in this book. Used in combination with some Native American history, and you would have a complete module on an important aspect of American history.
Since so much of the sign language is based on motions or images associated with the idea, the Indian sign language is also easy to learn. Therefore, it is well within the intellectual grasp of late elementary school students.
