Plains Indian Sign Talk (PST), a complex system of hand signs, once served as the lingua franca among many Native American tribes of the Great Plains, who spoke very different languages. Although some researchers thought it had disappeared following the establishment of reservations and the widespread adoption of English, Brenda Farnell discovered that PST is still an integral component of the storytelling tradition in contemporary Assiniboine (Nakota) culture. Farnell?s research challenges the dominant European American view of language as a matter of words only. In Nakota language practices, she asserts, words and gestures are equal partners in the creation of meaning. Drawing on Nakota narratives videotaped during field research at the Fort Belknap reservation in northern Montana, she uses the movement script Labanotation to create texts of the movement content of these performances. The first and only ethnographic study of contemporary uses of PST, Do You See What I Mean? draws on important developments in the study of language and culture to provide an action-centered analysis of spoken and gestural discourse. It offers a theoretical approach to language and the body that transcends the current ?intellectualist? versus ?phenomenological? impasse in social and linguistic theory.

Raised on a farm in the plains of North Dakota, John Whalen was determined there had to be a better life somewhere. For much of his youth, he lived without electricity and indoor plumbing. He despised farming. When he saw there was no change to broaden his education in the state, he sought other means. Thus began his journey From The Plains...To Planes...And Other Plain Talk. As an adolescent, John Whalen realized that he may be gay. His upbringing would not permit such a thing, and he was determined as he matured that those feelings would disappear. Leaving for the west coast, he worked for two trucking companies and finished college. He enjoyed the business but became bored with life in Portland. He decided to travel to Alaska. In Alaska, he found opportunities he could not have imagined. Starting with a small auditing firm, the opportunities grew and ultimately he found himself the president and CEO of one of the nation's largest worldwide airfreight forwarding companies. The path to success was not easy, and Whalen faced many struggles including his sexual orientation, a disruptive divorce, and diabetes. Determined to come out a winner, he made decisions in his life that eventually brought him success and happiness.

Memories are living histories. From the eastern forested Flint Hills and tallgrass prairie to the western High Plains shortgrass region, Kansans have stories to tell. Humorous hijinks, intriguing characters, and thoughtful reminiscences provide a glimpse into both bygone eras of country and small town life as well as contemporary living in Kansas cities. Sixteen contributors submitted witty anecdotes, memories, and photographs reflecting their Kansas experiences. Color photos accompany some pieces and others highlight the prairie landscape. Tales are the handed down variety that you might hear repeated at gatherings of relatives and friends. Insightful poems consider passages in life. Read to be entertained and inspired to record your own stories-perhaps embellished-to savor the memories and pass them along to others. Editor Charlotte Crawford, a Kansas native, invited people with a Kansas connection to commit their stories, photos, and reflections to print. The result is a down to earth collection of remembrances and tributes to Kansas living.
