Everyone, I was wondering if you guys have heard about this organization, Intertribal Deaf Council?
Intertribal Deaf Council (IDC) is believed to be the only North American non-profit organization for Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and Hard of Hearing American Indian, Alaska Native, and First Nations individuals and their families.
It is a wonderful organization because there are many Deaf who are Indians but do not know much about their origins or knowing that they can get federal benefits for being a member of a native tribe.
They will have a national conference in Toppenish, Washington in July. Look up www.deafnative.com for more information.
I am a Cherokee but did not know until I met my biological father four years ago. Now I am going to this conference to find out more about this culture. Should be interesting as I feel kind of not complete, not knowing my entire make up.
