2. Martha's Vineyard
If you could create a deaf utopia, what would it look like?
Everyone would communicate in Sign Language, both deaf and hearing. Many, if not all children would be born deaf.
This actually was such a place once. It was an isolated island off the Massachusetts coast-Martha’s Vineyard. Some early Vineyard settlers carried a gene for deafness (the first known deaf one was Jonathan Lambert, 1694), and over years of marriage, generation after generation was born with hearing loss.
At one point, one in four children was born deaf. There were so many deaf people on the Vineyard (most deaf lived in Chilmark) that residents developed a sign language, Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language (MVSL) MVSL later merged with mainland signs to form ASL.
Sign Language was so accepted on the Vineyard that people moving to Chilmark had to learn sign language in order to live in the community. Deafness was majority and hearing actually thought it was contagious disease. Deafness in the town was never considered to be a handicap. The last Deaf Vineyard native passed away in 1950s. It died down since most children would go away for college and schooling and then not come back.
