a.k.a. Wambali Wi<br>> Yuta, "Sign Talking Eagle" in Dakota.<br>> He stresses the difference between Plains Sign and various sign<br>> languages used by deaf people.<br><br>Thanks for the very interesting description of the differences between
<br>Plains Sign and Deaf Sign. This will be a topic of conversation in the<br>various Deaf communities I participate in in Bristol and Somerset for<br>some time to come!<br><br>What's the story behind "Head-Smashed-In"? Is that a direct English
<br>translation of "Ottowa" or something? Whose head was smashed in, and<br>why??<br><span class="sg"><br>Sandy Fleming<br><a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://scotstext.org/" target="_blank">
