What are Native American hand signs?

For many years, Native American tribes with different languages used hand signs to talk and trade together. Try them by yourself or with a friend!

“Father” – Touch the right side of your chest several times with your right fist.

“Mother” – Touch the left side of your chest several times with your right fist.

“I” – Point to yourself with your right thumb. For the sign “You”, point to the other person with your right thumb.

“Thank you” – Hold your hands chest high, palms facing out. Push your hands slowly toward the person you wish to thank, letting your hands curve downward.

“Bird” – Hold your hands at your shoulders. Move your hands up and down, like the flapping of a bird’s wings.
