"This course provides instruction in American Sign Language (ASL) and Re‑Indigenizing Sign Language practices, designed especially for Native communities. Cindi's teaching approach centers on cultural safety, Indigenous knowledge, and the lived experience of navigating both the Deaf community and Native community. Students will learn ASL structure, visual communication skills, and the cultural foundations of Indigenous sign systems that existed long before ASL. The goal is to strengthen communication access, restore cultural knowledge, and support Native Deaf visibility and sovereignty."
