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.

Replying to @afvterp23 yes Native American and indigenous people did create sign language. Plains sign language was used to communicate with other nations communicate when hunting and war so that there could be silence. Native and indigenous people had this before ASL and it was actually written about in 1800 whereas ASL didn’t come out until 1817. I’m just like most things they made sure not to give credit to the Native American and indigenous people. #nativetiktok #nativefamily #nativeamerican
