1. The American sign language is beautiful. Very expressive.

Bernie is the only one who does not ignore the First Nations.

What a beautiful woman too, inside and out. She shines.

7. What nation is she from?

The sign of two fingers sliding diagonally upward on the cheek ... is that tribe specific or the local sign for 'Native'?

I learned a different sign for 'Native' but it has been quite a number of years since I have been in the Deaf community and that was most likely in a different region, the dialects varying from place to place. The one I learned was an old sign for 'red', which was circular rubbing on the back of a fist.

I realize you probably don't know.. I just figured I'd ask anyway.

8. Meskwaki - She mentions it, the video is labeled with the Meskwaki word for "Thank You" ( Ketebi )

9. Okay, thanks

I wasn't sure if she meant Native in a general sense. Also, my receptive skills for fingerspelling that fast has declined quite a bit. I caught mes... w.. i and had no reference to fill the gaps. I haven't been around Deaf/ASL consistently since '09 and that was partial. I haven't been fully immersed since 1997-99.. ish.

I lifts my heart to see ASL again though. Thanks for sharing these.

10. Bernie held a Meskwaki Town Meeting in Feb. I don't know about the sign language to comment :)
