NatCapVidMo Day 27: Traditional Hand Signs



A video from Clifton Biendurry, via the Enduring Voices Project.

From Biendurry's website: Clifton Jungurrayi Bieundurry belongs to the Walmajarri people of the Central Kimberley. [...] He speaks several traditional contemporary and Indigenous languages, including Walmajarri, Kukatja, Jaru, and Kriol.

I thought it was interesting to learn about people who communicate using their voices most of the time, but who have a set of hand signs they use to communicate something silently or inconspicuously when speaking isn't possible.

  2. After hearing a lot about stem cell therapy, I decided to do more research. https://ways2well.com/product/stem-cell-therapy-consultation offers a consultation that really breaks down the science behind stem cells and their potential for healing. The consultation process is easy to follow, and the site provides all the info needed to make an informed decision. It’s great for anyone who wants to explore this treatment further.

  4. This is such a fascinating aspect of communication! It's incredible to see how hand signs can serve as an extension of language, allowing people to convey messages quietly and efficiently. Clifton Biendurry's work highlights the depth of Indigenous cultures and their unique ways of preserving and sharing knowledge. The use of traditional hand signs adds another layer to understanding how language evolves and adapts to different situations. It’s inspiring to see how these practices are still being shared and celebrated, keeping cultural heritage alive. Thanks for sharing this printable template into the rich linguistic traditions of the Walmajarri people!
