Centuries before we had American Sign Language, Native sign languages, broadly known as “Hand Talk,” were thriving across North America. Hand Talk would be influential in the formation of American Sign Language. But it has largely been written out of history.
One of these Hand Talk variations, Plains Indian Sign Language, was used so widely across the Great Plains that it became a lingua franca — a universal language used by both deaf and hearing people to communicate among tribes that didn’t share a common spoken language. At one point, tens of thousands of indigenous people used Plains Indian Sign Language, or PISL, for everything from trade to hunting, conflict, storytelling, and rituals.
But by the late 1800s, the federal government had implemented a policy that would change the course of indigenous history forever: a violent boarding school program designed to forcibly assimilate indigenous children into white American culture — a dark history that we’re still learning more about to this day. Because of a forced “English-only” policy, the boarding school era is one of the main reasons we lost so many Native signers — along with the eventual dominance of ASL in schools for the deaf.
Today, there are just a handful of fluent PISL signers left in the US. In the piece above we hear from two of these signers who have dedicated their lives to studying and revitalizing the language. They show us PISL in action, and help us explore how this ancient language holds centuries of indigenous history.

Here's to headmates who talk differently than the rest of the system!
Not everyone has distinct voices amongst system members, but there are plenty of people who do! Here's to them!
Shoutout to:
Headmates with regional accents (New Jersey, Canadian, Cockney etc.)
Sysmates with neurodivergency/disability/cultural accents (flat affect, Deaf accents, dysarthria, etc.)
People with first language accents when speaking their second/other language (Spanish accent when speaking English, etc.)
The ones with speech disorders, lisps, stutters, slurs, etc.
Those who are semi-verbal, hyperverbal, etc.
Those who use AAC boards, a sign language, etc.
And anyone else who just has an uncommon or unique way of communication!
We think it's absolutely lovely to have such a diverse way of being able to connect with others! Please don't let anyone ever shame you or make you feel bad for the way you talk to others, you're wonderful as-is!
🖤💜💙💚💛

𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟑 - 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟐: 𝐋𝐈𝐁𝐑𝐀
𝐋𝐈𝐁𝐑𝐀 — 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙣 𝙜𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩
The Libra. In other words, goodness, kindness, compassion. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Libra individuals are tasked with the unfortunate burden of their purity. They carry around their goodness in a suitcase, and that suitcase has been with them since birth and will stay with them until death. Whether you see this as a blessing, which it most often is, or something more grim, depends on the goodness of your heart. For Libras, they will see it as a blessing.
Libras often have this honeyed, amber energy that shrouds them in warmth, peace, and fairness. They radiate a certain divinity, drawn from the very depths of their goodness. You ask a Libra when you need help, you ask a Libra to be the unbiased judge, you ask a Libra for a hug, and guess what? A Libra will say yes because they are good. They are the good people of the world, the silent, golden ghosts that cast protective charms around stray cats and people who cry on buses. They have this equity instilled in them where they do not want to be seen or heard for their goodness or praised, for they do not need trivial acknowledgment to follow the fuzzy, golden compass in their heart that points them in the right direction.
This is not to say these warm, caring individuals are pushovers; not at all, actually! Though they are kind, their fairness and desire for equilibrium in the world create a protective coating over themselves, too, and they become a beacon of kindness not only to others but also to themselves.
As always, If you'd like a more detailed, in-depth breakdown of this sign, please let me know!
