Article Spotlight—
Interpreters like Angela Blackdeer are helping make cultural spaces more inclusive for Deaf Indigenous people. At the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Wacipi, she and others are bridging language and cultural gaps through ASL and Native sign languages.

Every Deaf person deserves full access to their traditions, stories, and community. This is what accessibility looks like. 🤟🏽

🌍 Today is the International Day of Sign Languages (September 23)!
A day to recognize, celebrate, and uplift sign languages and Deaf communities around the world.

Did you know?
👉 There are over 300 recognized sign languages globally.
👉 More than 70 million Deaf people use them as a primary means of communication.
👉 Sign languages are fully-fledged languages with their own grammar, syntax, and cultural significance — not simply visual versions of spoken languages.

📊 Swipe to see the visual map — this shows how sign languages are historically connected, often branching from a few root languages like French Sign Language (LSF), British Sign Language (BSL), and Austrian Sign Language. Yet, each has evolved uniquely, reflecting local culture, history, and Deaf community innovation.

👐 Why it matters:
Language is a human right. Sign languages are crucial for inclusion, education, political participation, and access to public life for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. Whether it’s ASL, BSL, LSF, JSL, LIS, ISL, DGS, or any of the hundreds of others, today is a reminder to honor the diversity, history, and resilience of sign language users worldwide.

Sign languages = human rights.
Let’s build a world that celebrates communication in all its forms.

We have all heard of Helen Keller, arguably the most famous DeafBlind person. Deaf-Blindness is a rare, complex and unique condition. Despite the diversity of humans and the complexity of the condition, DeafBlind people face some universal challenges. The most important is limited access to communication.

Many will never meet a DeafBlind person. But what if we do? How can we communicate with them?

✨DeafBlind people are human, too! They are intelligent, capable and often quite independent. Do not assume they need your help!

✨DeafBlind people are accustomed to interacting with a hearing and sighted world. They have learned to adapt to barriers of the hearing and sighted world.

✨Observe and determine if the person is with a companion or alone. If they are with another person, you can ask to join their conversation.

✨If the person is alone, approach cautiously and touch them lightly on the arm. This is important because you do not want to startle them.

✨DeafBlind people choose from a variety of communication methods. There is one method we all can easily learn/do and is accepted by many DeafBlind people. The method is writing out our words in block letters on a person’s palm. (This method will only be accepted if the person has knowledge of English as a written language.)

✨Start by introducing yourself. If you leave the DeafBlind person, even for a moment, PLEASE let them know.

✨If you are moving with them to another location, offer them your arm. Hold your arm loosely at your side. They will hold it just above or below the elbow. Move confidently, keeping the person close but not impeding their natural footsteps. Do not pull, push or drag the person! If you are going to sit down with them, place their hand on the back of the chair and allow them to seat themselves.

Every day, DeafBlind people face limits to participating in activities, obstacles to mobility, navigation and socialization, as well as concerns about safety. Despite the challenges, many DB people are able to lead independent and full lives.
