470 SIGN LANGUAGE AMONG NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. 
KAIOWA. 
Make the signs of the PRAIRIE and of DRINKING WATER. (Burton; 
Blackmore in Dodge’s Plains of the Great West. New York, 1877, p. xxiv.) 
Cheyennes make the same sign as (Comanche II), and think it was in- 
tended to convey the idea of cropping the hair. The men wear one side 
of the hair of the head full length and done up as among the Chey- 
ennes, the other side being kept cropped off about even with the neck 
and hanging loose. (Cheyenne II.) 
Right-hand fingers and thumb, extended and joined (as in W), placed 
in front of right shoulder, and revolving loosely at the wrist. (Dakota 
Til.) 
Place the flat hand with extended and separated fingers before the 
face, pointing forward and upward, the wrist near the chin; pass it up- 
ward and forward several times. 
(Kaiowal; Comanche II1; Apache 11; 
Wichita I1.) 
Place the right hand a short dis- 
tance above the right side of the head, 
fingers and thumb separated and ex- 
tended; shake it rapidly from side to 
side, giving it a slight rotary motion 
in doing so. (Comanche II.) ‘Rat- 
tle-brained.” Fig. 292. See p.345 for 
remarks upon this sign. 
Same sign as (Comanche II), with 
the exception that both hands are gen- 
erally used instead of the right one 
NEC only. (Ute I.) 
Make a rotary motion of the right hand, palm extended upward and 
outward by the side of the head. (Wichita I.) “Crazy heads.” 
KICKAPOO. 
With the thumb and finger go through the motion of clipping the 
hair over the ear; then with the hand make a sign that the borders of 
the leggings are wide. (Sac, Fox, and Kickapoo 1.) 
KNISTENO or KRISTENEAUX. See CREE. 
KUTINE. 
Place the index or second finger of the right hand on each side of the 
left index finger to imitate riding a horse. (Kutine I.)
