Description

(meaning: level with the heart)

Hold the extended right hand, back up, in front of and close to left breast, fingers extended, touching, and pointing to left (index finger usually resets against breast in this position); move the hand briskly, well out to front and to right, keeping it in the same horizontal plane.


References: day, true

Notes

Clark notes: I have seen Chippewas make the sign for GOOD with the left hand, and sweep it well round to the left. The Utes pointed to something good; and, for a person, used sign for TRUE or STRAIGHT. The Yankton Sioux sometimes sweep hand out from heart, turning, back down, as in DAY.
