Abstract
The Republic forwarded an inquiry into sign language from Stephen Streeter, president of the American Tourist Association Inc. He recommends a book, which contains sign language material and informs him of Indian celebrations throughout the Northwest and Midwest, including the Wanapums first foods feast, but has to decline an invitation to a convention in Seattle, as Relander will be out of town.
