trees and stuff I will warn you all that there is no such thing as Flame
Proof.  And all fire retardant chemicals break down with repeated exposure to
sunlight and rain, especially acid rain (for those of us living in the east).

Clark's work was a treatise done for army officers to use in the field-- it was thoroughly researched and he offers different examples of signs used by different tribes and in different regions. It's just a far more serious piece of work. In addition, Clark got his info shortly after the end of the last Indian wars, Tompkins worked during the reservation-era. Clark's work is earlier and closer to being "period" for reenactors. Clark's book was for use by army officers who would actually be working w/ Indian warrior/scouts. When Tompkins and Clark disagree, it is probably much more accurate to opt for one of Clark's descriptions. To choose Tompkins simply because he has pictures and is therefore easier seems like a cop-out to me. It was the essence of sign language that it wasn't completely uniform from region to region, so why teach otherwise or try to make it uniform today? John R.
