When building this website, we found a lack of respectfully documented history of First Nations deaf people amongst the written sources known to us. There are some scattered references which do not seem to us sufficient to represent what is probably a very rich and varied history. Deaf people have always existed in every community, so our silence on this website does not mean the history isn’t there. Our silence just means that we are ignorant of that history, at the moment.

We would like to collaborate to document the experiences of First Nations deaf people on this website but only if, when and how First Nations people wish us to do so.

We would also like to link to existing resources that are suggested by First Nations people or organisations.
