330 .. $a "American Indian nations of the Great Plains and cultural groups bordering this geographic
area spoke so many different languages that verbal communication between them was
difficult. As extensive trade networks developed and political alliances became necessary,
an elegant language of the hands developed that cut across spoken language barriers.
Though now endangered, this sign language continues to serve a vital role in traditional
storytelling, rituals, legends, prayers, conversational narratives, and as a primary
language of American Indians who are deaf. This volume contains the most current descriptions
of all levels of the language from phonology to discourse, as well as comparisons
with other sign languages. This is the first work of its kind to be produced in more
than a century, and is intended for students of sign language as well as those wishing
to learn more about American Indian languages and cultures"--
