The importance of Indigenous sign languages on the cultural empowerment of Deaf Indigenous people

One of the greatest moves forwards in the disability field is by including an Indigenous perspective and this has been added by including various intersectionalities. The first intersectionality would be disability and Indigenous, which is not a common topic, then by adding more intersectionality this can enable a greater degree of perspectives such as colourism, singlism, education, and various others that have limited if not excluded Indigenous peoples worldwide. This chapter will explore just that and move beyond. This area is rather new as the major contributions occurred at the beginning of the 2020 and has yielded a great deal of information to all necessary and in demand to the area of Indigenous knowledge, ethics, and belief systems when interacting, employment, and schooling for Indigenous people with colonial authorities. These intersectionalities are not merely words that are through into the lived experiences and knowledge systems but how these keywords are used to intimidate, segregate, and stigmatize Indigenous peoples in participating within their oppressed colonial environments.
