Anybody have a good resource to learn indian sign language - figured I am moving into a bit of a more western portrayal and indian sign language ability would make it more believable.

Iron Eyes Cody had a book out on sign language. many..many moons ago. I saw it at a black powder shop in San Diego, CA which is no longer in buss.

After I posted, I looked in Amazon books....lots of Indian S. L. books

This is a real good one "indian Sign Language " by William Tomkins

There is also a set of flash cards that are get we bring in camp and work on them around the fire wwith a jug. Can't remember who put them out???

My experience is that you aught to find yourself a sign language partner so you can study it together. I've tried to learn it by myself and made very poor progress, when my girlfriend decided to help me out it only took a week and we could make basic (very basic) conversation. The best substitute though I believe are the cards mentioned by bufflerub.
Here’s a link to a great website created by Bradley Bailey named <a href="http://www.mountain-man.org/indian-sign-language/"> Indian Sign Language Online </a>

Yep, Char Brad did a fine job with that on sign. He is that young fellow in many of my camp images I have posted. He is working on our party's website now, hope to have it running soon.

You are right too that having a partern helps it along so much better. That's why those card are fun to do while in camp. You could pull a card say the word and the next fellow has to sign it or you could sign it and have the others guess it.

Thank you for the interest in my humble work. If anyone has any ideas for how I can improve it, please let me know.

bufflerub, if you have those flash cards bring them to the next camp. I need to practice more.
