French explorers and colonists in the sixteenth century noticed that indigenous peoples from Brazil to Canada used signs to communicate. The French, in response, quickly embraced the nonverbal as a means to overcome cultural and language barriers. Celine Carayon's close examination of their accounts enables her to recover these sophisticated native practices of embodied expressions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Nonverbal communication. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Communication. 650 0 $a Indians of South America $x Communication. 650 0 $a French $x Communication. 651 0 $a France $x Social life and customs. $z America $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Nonverbal communication $z America $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a French colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01930852 650 7 $a French $x Communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934214 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969689 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Nonverbal communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039009 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C99D4AF4586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
