As most Native American languages lacked an indigenous alphabetic tradition, and as Plains Indian Sign Language was widely understood among different tribes, a written, graphic transcription of these signs is known to have functioned as a medium of communication between Native Americans on and off reservations during the period of American colonization, removal, and forced schooling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

It is recorded that many Kiowa Apache did not learn the Kiowa language, preferring to communicate with their allies using the sophisticated Plains Indian Sign Language, at which the Kiowa were past masters (having probably devised much of the system). Even before contact with Europeans, their numbers were never large, and in 1780 their population was estimated at 400.

At least since the 18th century, hearing Inuit used some form of sign language for trade and communication among various Inuit languages, a similar role to that played by Plains Indian Sign Language further south. This may have been IUR or at least its ancestor, as the region has a high incidence of congenital deafness. In the territory of Nunavut, for example, the incidence of hereditary deafness is six times that of southern Canada. The deaf are well integrated in the community, and there are perhaps two hearing people proficient in IUR for every deaf speaker, as in other communities with high rates of congenital deafness such as Martha's Vineyard.

In American Sign Language the OK gesture represents the number 9 when held in a stationary position with the palm facing away from the signer. This ASL numerical sign is the last in a sequence of single-digit integers where quantities of fingers denote the numbers 1 through 5, and then the thumb touches each finger in turn to denote '6' (pinky finger), '7' (ring finger), '8' (middle finger), and finally '9' (index finger). When shaken from left to right, the sign for the number 9 becomes the number 19. In Plains Indian Sign Language, the gesture signifies the number 3 when held a bit lower than the signs used to represent the sun.

ASL) during this process. In addition, Nepalese deaf had already had contact with some Italian and Swedish Deaf who had come Nepal as tourists. Generally speaking then, NSL developed as a natural language established by the deaf community of Kathmandu valley, but we cannot deny the influence of the other sign languages, nor of artificial systems of sign such as Total Communication or Simultaneous Communication. This influence from outside due to contact (with, for example Indian Sign Language and with structural principles introduced from artificial sign systems used in the United States) was strong during its initial stage of the formation, but in different ways and to different degrees remains strong to this day (although the contact is more with International Sign, American Sign Language and various European sign languages used by visiting deaf tourists and by deaf from European funding organizations).

He also made a lot of photographs to reflect Native American life and culture. In his photographs he also reserved the first evidence of the Plains Indian sign language.

Weygold gathered a personal collection of Native American artifacts and he later presented it to the Speed Art Museum, which now approves to be the main part of the museum's collection.Picturing American Indian Cultures’: The Art of Kentucky’s Frederick Weygold Retrieved on 13 Mar 2018 PICTURING AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURES: THE ART OF KENTUCKY’S FREDERICK WEYGOLD Retrieved on 13 Mar 2018 During a long period, Native American artifacts were far more popular in Europe — where Weygold did much of his work — than in the United States.

Tipperary supporters were still celebrating when Kilkenny's right wing-back Jimmy Kelly sent the sliotar to the net from seventy yards. Kilkenny eagerly awaited the puck-out and the chance to level the game, however, referee and former All-Ireland medallist Con Murphy (Cork) blew full-time. Kilkenny, who were the one point specialists, having won five All-Ireland titles by that margin, were at the wrong end for once as they were downed by 1–9 to 1–8. For the third time in history, Kilkenny and Tipperary faced each other in an All- Ireland semi-final on 10 August 1958. Galway had received a bye to the All- Ireland final without playing a single game, while this match was seen as the de facto All-Ireland final, Tipperary once again showed that they held the Indian sign over Kilkenny by claiming a 1–13 to 1–8 victory.

He attended Indiana University as a PhD candidate, majoring in anthropology, and became a protegé of Charles F. Voegelin, his doctoral supervisor, and Alfred L. Kroeber, who were concerned with the neglect suffered by the topic since the late 19th century. He was at Indiana University from June 1955 to June 1959, doing field work among Plain Indian the results of which were published with his doctoral dissertation, entitled "The Sign Language, An Analysis,"a study of Plains Indian Sign Language, which was the most sophisticated non-verbal language among North American Indians. Both Kroeber and Voegelin had done some work on sign languages, building on the pioneering work of Garrick Mallery and LaMont's 2 volumes constituted what was the most comprehensive fieldwork survey and analysis of the American native sign system.
