Preserve Indian Sign Language in Congress Bill Hope
Elmo Scott Watson notes a bill by Representative Lengitt of Montana to fund a permanent record of Indian sign language, aiming to preserve a rapidly fading art. Maj Gen Hugh L Scott, a West Point graduate and sign language student, is proposed as the lead figure to marshal the effort. The piece recounts how sign language, a full gestural language used across tribes, bridges communication without speech and highlights Scott’s diplomatic role and experiences with Red Cloud and Chief Joseph.
