Do You See What I Mean?: Plains Indian Sign Talk and the Embodiment of Action

Plains Indian Sign Talk (PST), a complex system of hand signs, once served as the lingua franca among many Native American tribes of the Great Plains. Although some researchers thought it had disappeared following the widespread adoption of English, Brenda Farnell discovered that PST is still an integral component of the storytelling tradition in contemporary Assiniboine (Nakota) culture.
