FW: Cree hand signals homepage

[Nobukatsu Minoura]

Dear colleagues,

I received this on the Chinook Jargon mailing list.  I do not know if this
"Cree Sign Language" is a systematic sign language of hearing Crees or just
a collection of signs/gestures used along with spoken Cree.  And I do not
know its relationship to Plains Sign Language either.  Anyway this site has
a nice collection of moving-image files of the "signs."  If you have time,
you may want to see them just for fun.  Enjoy.  (BTW, I corrected the URL
because the 3-line URL that Dave gave didn't work well.)

I hope this weird-looking link works for you!  An extensive collection of
video frame sequences demonstrating Cree hand signals (sign language).
Good material, maybe useful in other Native sign language research.  There
are plenty of hand signals for post-contact phenomena, for what it's
worth.  --  Dave
